Bill Summary
Relative to health insurance benefits for certain surviving spouses. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing laws to provide health insurance benefits to certain surviving spouses. Specifically, it removes the provision that health insurance coverage for surviving spouses terminates upon remarriage. Additionally, it changes the cost-sharing for health insurance premiums, with the government unit now paying one-half of the cost. The bill applies prospectively to surviving spouses who remarried prior to the effective date of the act, and the new provisions on cost-sharing do not entitle surviving spouses to any retroactive insurance coverage.
