AI Summary

This bill, the "No Pensions for Corrupt Politicians Act of 2021," would amend the United States Code to temporarily halt pension payments for members of Congress who are convicted of certain offenses. Specifically, it would prohibit individuals convicted of the specified offenses from receiving any annuity payments under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) between the date of sentencing and the date of their final conviction.
