Caucus & COW
Overview
Establishes group life insurance program coverage for officers and enlisted personnel of the Arizona National Guard with a $10,000 benefit.
History
Officers and enlisted personnel of the Arizona National Guard, while on state active duty exceeding thirty consecutive days, are considered employees of Arizona and are eligible for health and accident insurance benefits. On completing state active-duty orders, a member of the Arizona National Guard does not continue to receive health and accident insurance benefits (A.R.S. § 26-158).
Intestate succession is a legal process for people that pass away without having a will dictating the distribution of assets and property. The rules of intestate succession in Arizona dictate that someone who dies without a named beneficiary would have the estate passed on to family members in the following order: 1) spouse; 2) descendants; 3) parents; 4) descendants of the parents; 5) grandparents or descendants of grandparents; 6) other relatives (A.R.S. § 14-2103).
