Bill > S1766

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to allow surviving spouses to retain their health insurance coverage even after remarriage. Specifically, the bill removes provisions that terminated the health insurance coverage of surviving spouses upon remarriage under chapters 32A and 32B. Additionally, the bill requires the government to pay for half the cost of the health insurance premiums for surviving spouses. The provisions in the bill apply prospectively, meaning they do not provide any retroactive coverage for surviving spouses who remarried prior to the effective date of the law.
