Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to the eligibility of New York city transit authority employees for performance of duty disability retirement

AI Summary

This bill amends the Retirement and Social Security Law to grant New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) employees who participated in World Trade Center rescue, recovery, or cleanup operations and became physically or mentally incapacitated as a result, a performance of duty disability retirement allowance equal to 75% of their final average salary. The bill allows these employees to invoke the medical review procedure to determine their eligibility for this enhanced disability benefit. The fiscal note estimates the potential increase in employer contributions and actuarial liabilities for the NYCERS pension system, which would be allocated to the NYCTA.
