Introduced March 10, 2021

AI-Generated Summary

Updated February 8, 2026 at 12:04 AM UTC

The No CORRUPTION Act amends the federal retirement rules for members of Congress so that anyone convicted of certain crimes loses their congressional pension. The loss applies only to pension benefits earned from service as a member of Congress and only for convictions that occur after the law takes effect. If a conviction is later overturned, the pension is restored. The bill affects current and former members of the House and Senate who are subject to the federal retirement system.

Key Provisions

  • Adds a new provision that a member of Congress convicted of a specified offense cannot receive any pension payments based on their congressional service.
  • Allows the pension to be reinstated if the conviction is reversed on appeal.
  • Specifies that the rule applies only to convictions occurring after the law’s enactment date.
  • Makes technical adjustments to related code sections to align references with the new paragraph numbering.
