For legislation relative to retirement survivor benefits for Katherine M. McGuinness. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill provides retirement survivor benefits to Katherine M. McGuinness, the surviving spouse of former Massachusetts State Police officer James T. McGuinness. The bill allows the state retirement board to provide Katherine M. McGuinness with a lifetime, monthly allowance equal to what she would have received if James T. McGuinness had elected option (c) of the retirement benefits law, which provides for a monthly payment to a surviving spouse. However, the retirement board will withhold a portion of the monthly payments during the first year to account for the difference between the benefits James T. McGuinness actually received and what he would have received under option (c). This retirement benefit is in lieu of any other benefits Katherine M. McGuinness may have otherwise received as James T. McGuinness' beneficiary.
