Restores death benefits to spouses of first responders who lost benefits due to remarriage.
Arizona SB1136 amends section 23-1046 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to restore death benefits to spouses of first responders who lost benefits due to remarriage on or after January 1, 2000. The law applies prospectively, meaning it does not provide retroactive benefits. First responders include law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, and volunteer first responders operating in an official capacity. The surviving spouse is eligible for 66.67% of the deceased's average monthly wage if there are no children, or 35% if there are children.
