HB 704 Sickness and Disability Program; health insurance for injured law-enforcement officers.
Introduced by: Riley E. Ingram | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Virginia Sickness and Disability Program; health insurance for injured law-enforcement officers. Provides for payment of the state's portion of the health insurance premiums for law-enforcement officers injured in the line of duty for up to six months of long-term disability under the Virginia Sickness and Disability Program. Payment would commence immediately upon the disabled person's attaining long-term disability status and would continue until a finding that the person could return to work, or a final determination of disability. Under the existing Virginia Sickness and Disability Program, after six months of short-term disability, the disabled employee must pay potentially prohibitive insurance premiums out of pocket until he is able to return to work or is determined permanently disabled. This bill would bridge that gap for a period not to exceed six months.
