Bill > S1400

This bill amends Chapter 32A of the General Laws, which governs group insurance benefits for state employees and retired state employees. Specifically, it changes the word "five" to "ten" in several places within Section 5, indicating an increase in some aspect of the insurance coverage, likely related to a base amount. Section 6 is amended to establish that the amount of group life insurance and group accidental death and dismemberment insurance for each employee will be $10,000, with provisions for optional coverage exceeding this amount as outlined in section ten A. Furthermore, Section 10 is updated to require that upon retirement, the insurance policies, excluding optional group life insurance, will continue to provide $10,000 of group life insurance, $10,000 of group accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and any applicable group general or blanket health insurance, provided the retiree applies for this continuation.
