Bill > A05766

This bill extends the benefits of the variable supplements fund to all New York City police officers, firefighters, housing police, transit police, correction officers, and their registered domestic partners, who were previously ineligible for these benefits. It ensures that disabled officers, line-of-duty widows and widowers, and other retirees who receive benefits from the respective pension funds are now eligible for the variable supplement payments. The bill specifies that the new eligibility provisions will not result in a reduction of the variable supplement payments to those who were already eligible prior to the bill's enactment.
