Bill Summary
Relative to health insurance benefits for certain surviving spouses. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill aims to provide health insurance coverage for certain surviving spouses who had previously lost their coverage due to remarriage. Specifically, it removes the requirement that surviving spouses lose their health insurance coverage upon remarrying. Additionally, the bill changes the cost-sharing arrangement, so that the governmental unit now pays for half the premium cost for these surviving spouses. The provisions of the bill apply prospectively, meaning they will not provide retroactive coverage or premium contributions.
