Abstract: A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is $commensurated$ in $G$ if for each $ginG$, $gH{g}^{-1}capH$ has finite index in both $H$ and $gH{g}^{-1}$. If there is a sequence of subgroups $H=Q_{0}prec{Q}_{1}prec\mathrm{...}prec{Q}_{k}prec{Q}_{k+1}=G$ where $Q_i$ is commensurated in $Q_{i+1}$ for all $i$, then $Q_0$ is $subcommensurated$ in $G$. In this paper we introduce the notion of the simple connectivity at infinity of a finitely generated group (in analogy with that for finitely presented groups). Our main result is: If a finitely generated group $G$ contains an infinite, finitely generated, subcommensurated subgroup $H$, of infinite index in $G$, then $G$ is 1-ended and semistable at $infty$. If additionally, $H$ is finitely presented and 1-ended, then $G$ is simply connected at $infty$. A normal subgroup of a group is commensurated, so this result is a strict generalization of a number of results, including the main theorems of G. Conner and M. Mihalik cite{CM}, B. Jackson cite{J}, V. M. Lew cite{L}, M. Mihalik cite{M1}and cite{M2}, and J. Profio cite{P}.
