NY A07949

Allows surviving spouses of Tier 3 New York City Police Pension Fund members to continue receiving accidental death benefits after remarriage, rather than losing the non-SADB (Special Accidental Death Benefit) portion

Adds NYC police pension fund members to the definition of "eligible beneficiary" alongside NYC uniformed sanitation revised plan members, with surviving spouses listed first regardless of remarriage status

Surviving children remain eligible for benefits until age 25, and other dependents until age 21, but would no longer receive non-SADB benefits if a remarried spouse is still alive

Removes the $600 annual pension termination provision for surviving spouses who remarry under the older police pension statute

Applies to surviving spouses already receiving benefits as of the effective date and to members dying on or after the effective date
