Bill Summary

Relative to retirement survivor benefits for Katherine M. McGuinness. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill provides a lifetime, monthly allowance to Katherine M. McGuinness, the surviving spouse of former Massachusetts state police officer James T. McGuinness. The allowance is equal to the amount she would receive if James T. McGuinness had elected option (c) of the retirement benefit, which provides a survivor benefit for his spouse. However, the retirement board will withhold a portion of the payments during the first year to account for the difference between the amount James T. McGuinness received under his elected option (b) and the amount he would have received under option (c). This allowance to Katherine M. McGuinness is in lieu of, and not in addition to, any other benefits she may have received as James T. McGuinness' beneficiary.
