Extends accidental death benefit for survivors of certain SPRS retirees.
This bill extends accidental death benefits to survivors of retired New Jersey State Police officers who died from health conditions related to 9/11 rescue, recovery, or cleanup operations. It modifies eligibility rules by removing the requirement for a "written and sworn statement" that was previously needed to prove the retiree qualified for an accidental disability benefit. Surviving spouses, children, or legal guardians may now receive a lump-sum benefit equal to 3.5 times the retiree’s final compensation, provided they submit documentation showing the retiree would have qualified for such a benefit. The change applies to deaths occurring before July 8, 2019, and simplifies the process for survivors seeking these benefits.
