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 reduce the amount of payment required by Tier 6 members of the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System (NYSLPFRS) who are obtaining military service credit. Beginning with applications received on or after April 1, 2024, these members will be required to pay a sum equal to the product of the number of years of military service being claimed and three percent of their compensation earned during the twelve months of credited service immediately preceding the date they made the application, instead of the current six percent. This change is intended to decrease the financial burden on NYSLPFRS members who are seeking to purchase military service credit.
