BJA FY 2026 Invited to Apply – Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) Support Program

The Bureau of Justice Assistance is seeking to award a cooperative agreement to support public safety officers and their families through the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Support Program. The selected recipient will provide direct assistance to the families of fallen firefighters and emergency medical workers, as well as catastrophically injured personnel, by helping them file for federal benefits and supporting them through the claim review and appeal processes. Eligible applicants are limited to the International Association of Fire Fighters, which will perform these advocacy and support services to guide claimants through the complex program requirements. Applications must be submitted by July 21, 2026, for a project with an award ceiling of $756,700, and inquiries can be directed to Jonathan Faley at Jonathan.Faley@usdoj.gov.
