Health insurance coverage for the surviving family members of certain deceased employees of NYC.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to health insurance coverage for the surviving family members of certain deceased employees of the city of New York

This bill amends the Administrative Code to provide that surviving family members (surviving spouse, domestic partner and children) of municipal employees who have died as a natural or proximate result of an accident or injury sustained while in the performance of duty are extended health insurance coverage. This benefit also extends to the surviving family members of municipal employees whose accidental death benefits have been awarded in connection with a qualifying World Trade Center condition.
