BILL NUMBER:S5098 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to providing continuing coverage to spouse or dependents of public employees who are injured in the performance of duty or taken ill as a result of a performance of duty PURPOSE: Provides continuous health insurance coverage to the spouse or dependents of public employees who are injured in the performance of duty or taken ill as a result of duty. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends the civil service law by adding a new section 159-d to provide for the continuation of health insurance coverage for spouses and dependents of public employees who are injured or become ill as a result of the performance of duty. Coverage shall be at the same rate and in the same manner as active employees in the same bargaining unit. Coverage ceases one the employee separates from service or retires. EXISTING LAW: Typically, spouses and dependents can obtain health care coverage through family plans offered to active employees. In some cases this coverage is suspended when an otherwise active public employee is injured or becomes ill in the performance of duty.
