Permits surviving spouse of retired member of PFRS to be enrolled in SHBP and to continue to receive pension benefit after remarriage in certain circumstances.

New Jersey's bill A 2875 allows surviving spouses of retired police and fire department members (PFRS) to keep state-paid health coverage through the State Health Benefits Program and continue receiving pension benefits after remarriage, if the retiree's death was linked to a work-related disability. The law requires surviving spouses to provide documentation proving the disability, its complications, or a worsened preexisting condition directly contributed to the retiree's death. Surviving spouses who lost pension benefits due to remarriage before this law can apply for reinstatement. This applies only to those who were receiving disability retirement benefits at the time of the retiree's death.
