Summary

The bill updates the teachers’ retirement statutes to increase the monthly death benefit paid to a member’s surviving spouse, former spouse (if divorced) or domestic partner. Benefits are payable only after the member’s death, when the survivor is at least 60 and was living with the member at the time of death. Remarriage or entering a new domestic partnership ends eligibility for future benefits.
