Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how state retirement benefits are paid when a retiree or beneficiary dies. Currently, payments stop on the exact date of death, and any overpaid benefits must be repaid. If passed, this bill would allow benefits to continue until the end of the month in which the death occurs, simplifying the process for estates.
