Commissioner seeks answers after DOJ PSOB notice, says insurer handling lapsed following switch to Shepherd
Summary
Commissioner Bomar said an inquiry from the U.S. Department of Justice concerning Officer McCutcheon and Public Safety Officers' Benefits had been handled by the county's former insurer but lapsed after the county switched to Shepherd; Bomar said he is seeking further information to resolve the matter.
Commissioner Adam Bomar told the board June 3 that he received an email from the U.S. Department of Justice regarding Officer McCutcheon and the family's potential entitlement to Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB). Bomar said the county's previous insurance provider had been handling the matter but that the handling stopped after the county changed its insurer to Shepherd.
Bomar said he is attempting to gather additional information about how the situation can be remedied. The meeting record does not include responses from Shepherd or details on the specific status of any PSOB application; Bomar's comments are a request to the board to investigate and resolve the lapse in benefits handling.
No formal motion or vote was recorded on this matter during the meeting.
