Bill > S01081

This bill amends the New York civil service law to require dental insurance plans to automatically carry over up to 25% of an enrollee's unused dental benefits to the following year. Specifically, the bill modifies existing language about the president's discretion in establishing dental insurance plan regulations by adding a new provision that mandates dental insurance plans automatically transfer any unused benefits (up to 25% of the total benefit amount) to the enrollee's benefit amount for the next year. This means that if an individual does not use their full dental insurance benefits in a given year, they will not lose those unused funds but instead have them available for use in the subsequent year. The change aims to provide more flexibility and value for dental insurance enrollees by preventing the forfeiture of a significant portion of their unused annual dental benefits. The bill will take effect immediately upon enactment.
