SB577

Pennsylvania SB577 amends pension laws for firemen in second-class cities, detailing payment provisions for surviving spouses and children.

Pennsylvania SB577 amends the Second Class City Firemen Relief Law to clarify pension payment provisions for surviving spouses and children. It specifies that surviving spouses are entitled to payments starting the month after the member's death, continuing until the spouse's death or remarriage. If there are no surviving children or spouse, dependent parents receive the payments. For children, payments are 25% of the pension until they turn 18, marry, or die, with an option for indefinite payments for dependent incompetent children.
