A 4130 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Expands definition of child under PFRS and SPRS.

This bill expands the definition of "child" under New Jersey's Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS) and State Police Retirement System (SPRS) to include disabled children of any age. Specifically, it adds a new category for children who are unable to work due to a long-term disability (lasting or expected to last at least 12 months), as verified by a medical board. This change directly affects adult children of retired or deceased police and firefighter members, allowing them to qualify for benefits they previously might not have received. The amendment modifies the eligibility criteria without altering other aspects of the retirement systems.
