Iowa HF913 allows surviving spouses and children of state employees to continue health insurance coverage under certain conditions.

Iowa HF913 provides for the continuation of health insurance for the surviving spouse and children of state employees under specific circumstances. The state is not required to pay for the insurance, but may choose to cover the full or partial cost. If the state does not cover the cost, the surviving family members can continue coverage by paying the portion not covered by the state. The bill applies retroactively to January 1, 2024, and excludes continuation of coverage if the surviving family member was a substantial contributing factor to the employee's death.
