Connecticut General Statutes Title 5. State Employees § 5-150. Survivorship benefits for beneficiaries of members of Division of State Police

The survivorship benefits of sections 5-146 to 5-151, inclusive, shall continue to apply to the beneficiaries of a member of the Division of State Police within the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection who retired prior to July 1, 1982, provided such beneficiaries would have been entitled to such benefits had the retired member died on June 30, 1982. If such member retires on or after July 1, 1982, the survivorship benefits of section 5-146 to 5-151, inclusive, shall continue to apply to the beneficiaries of a member of the Division of State Police within the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, provided the member was not subject to the federal Insurance Contributions Act  1 for such employment. No further contribution shall be required to provide such coverage. No spouse's benefits shall be payable unless the retired member was married to that spouse for at least one year prior to the member's death.
