I'm not sure, but maybe they are asking to see if you can afford the individual coverage. IF you can afford the individual coverage but not the family coverage maybe they would require YOU to take the individual coverage and then they cover you husband and daughter.

You should know that most members have to have a minimum of 10 years of full creditable service to be eligible for a state pension.

You should also know about SSA WEP. This is a program where your SSA retirement benefit can be reduced due to receiving a state pension. MA does NOT pay into SSA retirement but DOES pay into Medicare.
