Extends accidental death benefit for survivors of certain SPRS retirees.

This bill (A4748) extends accidental death benefits to survivors of State Police Retirement System (SPRS) retirees who died from health conditions linked to World Trade Center rescue, recovery, or cleanup operations. It removes the current requirement that retirees must have died before July 8, 2019, and expands eligibility to include survivors of retirees who received ordinary disability, special, or service retirement benefits - not just accidental disability retirement. Survivors no longer need to submit a written sworn statement when applying, and they may submit applications within two years of the retiree's death or the bill's effective date, whichever is later. The bill also requires the board of trustees to notify survivors of these changes via certified mail within 60 days of enactment.
