HB 1319: LEOFFRS plan 1 ex spouse

Survivor benefits for ex spouses in the law enforcement officers' and fire fighters' retirement system, plan 1.

Summary

  • Continues the portion of a Law Enforcement Officers' and Fire Fighters' Plan 1 benefit that was granted to a divorcing spouse for the life of that spouse, rather than ending the benefit when the member dies.
  • Applies the continuation benefit retroactively, so that divided benefit payments resume for ex-spouses whose divided benefits stopped before the effective date of the act.
