HAVANA Act of 2021

The HAVANA Act of 2021 authorizes the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of State to provide financial support to employees and their families who have suffered brain injuries while serving on assignment. These payments are specifically intended for personnel affected by "Havana Syndrome," a series of unexplained neurological incidents reported by diplomats and intelligence officers around the world. By providing these benefits, the bill ensures that government workers receiving treatment for these specific cognitive impairments have access to the same level of financial assistance regardless of which agency they work for.
