The PERS defined contribution plan requires that members retire directly from the plan in order to be eligible for medical benefits. To effectuate the goals of this legislation, the bill modifies this requirement to allow eligible survivors of a peace officer or firefighter whose death occurs as a result of employment to receive major medical benefits under PERS. This bill would have a retroactive effective date and would apply to the eligible survivors of peace officers or firefighters who have died in the line of duty on or after January 1, 2013. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure.
