Young sponsored S. 4943 in the 119th Congress, and the introduced text includes the promised protection terminating further OBF obligations upon death or total and permanent disability, except prior-accrued obligations. But the bill has only been introduced and referred to the Senate Finance Committee; there is no evidence it has been enacted or otherwise made binding federal policy. Because Young is still in office and the relevant Congress is ongoing, the promise is not delivered yet but remains pending rather than finally failed.
