Bill > S1344

This bill amends Section 9B of Chapter 32B of the General Laws, which deals with health insurance coverage for dependents of public employees. Specifically, it allows a dependent of a deceased employee or retired employee to continue their group health insurance coverage, which includes hospital, surgical, medical, and dental benefits, if the deceased employee was not married and the dependent is not the child of a surviving spouse. This provision aims to ensure continued health coverage for certain dependents in situations where the primary policyholder dies and there isn't a surviving spouse to maintain the coverage for their children.
