  • Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAALaw Enforcement Assistance Administration) is authorized to pay a $50,000 death benefit to the eligible survivor of a public safety officer who died as a “direct and proximate result of personal injury sustained in the line of duty.” Claims are filed by the Department on behalf of the survivor, but the survivor may elect to file directly to LEAALaw Enforcement Assistance Administration.
