Florida S0984 provides cancer benefits to firefighters diagnosed with cancer, including treatment coverage and a one-time cash payout.
Florida S0984 amends the state's firefighter cancer benefits by ensuring that firefighters diagnosed with cancer receive cancer treatment coverage through their employer-sponsored health plan or group health insurance trust fund. The employer must also reimburse the firefighter for any out-of-pocket costs related to cancer treatment. Additionally, a one-time cash payout of $25,000 is provided upon diagnosis. The bill also extends the availability of these benefits for 10 years after the firefighter terminates employment, provided they meet the criteria at the time of termination.
