Bill > A03972

This bill modifies eligibility for ordinary disability benefits and re-employment for Tier III members of the New York City Police Pension Fund. Specifically, it removes the requirement for these members to have at least five years of credited service and be eligible for primary Social Security disability benefits (SSDI) to receive ordinary disability retirement (ODR) benefits; instead, their eligibility will be determined by the Police Medical Board. The bill also clarifies that certain provisions regarding re-employment for disability retirees, which previously required them to be eligible for Social Security disability benefits, will not apply to members of the New York City Police Pension Fund, who will instead be governed by a specific section of the administrative code. This change is intended to provide an additional ODR benefit for Tier 3 police members.
