Rhode Island H7683 increases monthly minimum benefits for spouses, domestic partners, and former spouses of deceased teachers.

Rhode Island H7683 amends the General Laws to increase the monthly minimum benefits for spouses, domestic partners, and former spouses of deceased teachers. The new benefit structure is based on the deceased member's highest annual salary, with adjustments for cost of living and social security. Remarriage or establishing a new domestic partnership disqualifies the beneficiary from receiving benefits. The changes take effect upon passage.
