Minnesota HF2020 expands eligibility for spouses of retired state employees under the group insurance program.

Minnesota HF2020 amends the state's statutes to allow spouses of retired state employees to purchase group insurance coverage. This applies to spouses who were dependents at the time of the retiree's death or who remain dependents if the retiree loses eligibility due to enrolling in individual coverage. The bill specifies eligibility criteria for the retired employees, including age and years of service. The commissioner must offer at least one plan that is actuarially equivalent to those made available through collective bargaining agreements.
