Grants David Morse, the parent of firefighter Peyton Morse, accidental death benefits

This bill grants David Morse, the parent of firefighter Peyton Morse, eligibility for accidental death benefits under New York State retirement law. It specifically allows David Morse to file for benefits he was previously denied, as his son was a city of Watertown firefighter and Tier 6 retirement system member when he died in 2021. The bill requires that any benefits paid to Peyton Morse, his estate, or David Morse before filing for these benefits will be deducted from future payments. The state of New York bears all costs for this benefit, and the law takes effect immediately.
