Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971. Deletes a "recognized child" from the definition of a "dependent". Redefines a handicapped adult dependent as an adult dependent with a disability and requires that such a dependent (i) must be financially dependent upon the group member and (ii) must be eligible to be claimed by the member as a dependent for income tax purposes. Provides that the dependent's eligibility to receive social security disability benefits constitutes proof of disability. Effective immediately.

House Amendment No. 1
Restores a "recognized child" from the definition of a "dependent".

	Fiscal Note (Department of Central Management Services)
	The Department of Central Management Services anticipates no significant fiscal impact from House Bill 4572.

House Amendment No. 2
With respect to the definition of dependent, (i) provides that eligibility for disability benefits under the Social Security Act is not the sole means of proving disability and (ii) provides that the term shall be liberally construed in a manner that assures adequate health care for children and persons with disabilities.
