Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to obtaining military service credit for members of the New York state and local police and fire retirement system

AI Summary

This bill amends the Retirement and Social Security Law to change the calculation for military service credit for members of the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System (NYSLPFRS). Under the current law, Tier 6 members who join the retirement system on or after April 1, 2012 must pay a sum equal to 6% of their compensation for each year of military service claimed. This bill proposes to reduce that rate to 3% for members who join NYSLPFRS on or after April 1, 2012 and apply for military service credit on or after April 1, 2024. This change is intended to decrease the amount members have to pay to obtain military service credit.
