26 U.S.C. § 139C: Certain disability-related first responder retirement payments

In the case of an individual who receives qualified first responder retirement payments for any taxable year, gross income shall not include so much of such payments as do not exceed the annualized excludable disability amount with respect to such individual. from a plan described in clause (iii), (iv), (v), or (vi) of section 402(c)(8)(B), and in connection with such individual’s qualified first responder service. The term “annualized excludable disability amount” means, with respect to any individual, the service-connected excludable disability amounts which are properly attributable to the 12-month period immediately preceding the date on which such individual attains retirement age. are not includible in such individual’s gross income under section 104(a)(1), are received in connection with such individual’s qualified first responder service, and terminate when such individual attains retirement age. In the case of an individual who only receives service-connected excludable disability amounts properly attributable to a portion of the 12-month period described in paragraph (1), such paragraph shall be applied by multiplying such amounts by the ratio of 365 to the number of days in such period to which such amounts were properly attributable. For purposes of this section, the term “qualified first responder service” means service as a law enforcement officer, firefighter, paramedic, or emergency medical technician.
