Extends the twenty-five year presumptive eligibility period for certain retirement benefits for injuries or illnesses related to World Trade Center rescue, recovery and clean-up operations

The bill was amended to extend the presumptive eligibility period for World Trade Center-related retirement benefits from 25 years to 35 years. This change allows retired workers to claim accidental death benefits for a longer duration after retirement, providing greater protection for those who may develop health issues related to their service years later in life.
