Provides accidental disability benefits to police who contract COVID-19 under certain circumstances.
This bill provides full accidental disability benefits to New Jersey police officers who became permanently and totally disabled from contracting COVID-19 between June 5, 2021, and January 31, 2022. To qualify, officers must have contracted the virus while working at a location other than their residence during that period. The benefits apply retroactively from June 5, 2021, and do not affect existing rights to other benefits under state law. It specifically covers police officers meeting these conditions, not all public safety workers.
