Establishes a veterans' dental insurance program

S 3530 creates a state-funded dental insurance program for New York state resident veterans, providing comprehensive and routine dental care through the state employee dental plan. It requires veterans to have no better existing dental coverage (from public or private sources) and uses a sliding-scale copayment based on income and disability rating, with veterans rated 50% or more disabled receiving full coverage without copays. The bill appropriates $5 million from the general fund to implement the program, which will require applicants to verify veteran status, residency, income, and existing coverage, with rules for eligibility appeals and benefit recovery if fraud is detected.
