Bill overview
This bill aims to expand the eligibility criteria for accidental disability retirement benefits for police officers and firefighters in Massachusetts. Currently, the requirements can be strict, potentially excluding individuals who experience disabilities due to accidents. This legislation seeks to broaden the definition of ‘accidental disability’ and make it easier for these public safety personnel to qualify for retirement benefits if they become disabled due to an unforeseen event.
