An Act relative to retirement benefits
This bill allows Mary McCabe to designate her daughter, Anna McCabe, as her survivor beneficiary for retirement benefits instead of a spouse. It overrides existing state laws that typically require a spouse to be the primary beneficiary in such cases. The change applies retroactively to October 29, 2023, ensuring the daughter is recognized as the beneficiary from that date forward.
