A 9258 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a veterans' dental insurance program

This bill creates a state-funded dental insurance program for New York state resident veterans who lack equivalent dental coverage from other sources. The program, integrated into the state employee dental insurance plan, provides comprehensive dental care with copayments based on income and disability level - waiving all costs for veterans with a 50%+ disability rating. Applicants must prove veteran status, residency, income, disability rating, and absence of other coverage. The state has appropriated $5 million to fund the program, effective 180 days after enactment.
