Allows for child beneficiaries of deceased police officers and firefighters to receive accidental death benefits until age twenty-six

This bill extends the age limit for children of deceased police officers and firefighters to receive accidental death benefits from 18 to 26. It directly affects children of eligible first responders employed by specific NYC departments (police, fire, sanitation, correction, etc.) or agencies like the NYC Transit Authority, who lose a parent in the line of duty. The key change modifies existing law to replace "under age eighteen" with "under age twenty-six" in all relevant benefit provisions. This adjustment ensures continued financial support for beneficiaries until age 26, without altering benefit amounts or eligibility criteria for the deceased member's death.
