Bill overview
This bill, the Health Benefits for Miners Act of 2019, aims to expand health benefits for retired coal miners. Specifically, it amends the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act to include retirees affected by bankruptcies that occurred in 2012, 2015, or 2018. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘related coal wage agreement’ to better account for bankruptcy proceedings involving coal companies and the United Mine Workers of America.
