Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the Revere Retirement Board to pay Debra Collar (as beneficiary of Eleanor Collar) a specific retirement allowance. It directs the Board to pay Debra an amount equal to what would have been paid if Eleanor had designated Sally Collar as her Option C beneficiary under Massachusetts law (G.L. c. 32, § 12(2)(c)) at retirement. The bill corrects a payment discrepancy for Debra Collar following Eleanor Collar's death, ensuring she receives the allowance she would have been entitled to had the beneficiary designation been properly recorded. It is a targeted procedural correction affecting only this specific case, not a broader policy change.
