AI Summary
This bill modifies the state group insurance program eligibility for spouses of retired state employees by adding a new provision that allows a spouse to purchase coverage if the retired employee loses their own coverage due to enrolling in medical assistance (Medicaid) under certain disability conditions. Specifically, the spouse can continue to purchase hospital, medical, and dental coverage if the retired employee: 1) enrolls in medical assistance under Chapter 256B, and 2) has a disability that meets the categorical eligibility requirements of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This change expands the existing options for spouses to maintain group insurance coverage after a retired employee's circumstances change, ensuring continued access to health insurance in situations where the retiree must transition to Medicaid due to disability. The bill amends the existing statute by inserting language that creates this new eligibility pathway and renumbers the subsequent paragraphs accordingly, while maintaining other existing provisions related to retired employee insurance coverage.
