An Act relative to survivor retirement benefits

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to increase the time limit for filing survivor retirement benefit claims from five to ten years. It directly affects the families of public employees who have passed away, allowing them more time to apply for these financial benefits. Additionally, the legislation ensures that survivors of public employees who die from secondary cancer are covered under specific provisions of the retirement chapter. By extending the filing window, the bill aims to provide a longer period for eligible families to secure necessary support.
