Bill > S05761

This bill establishes a new retirement benefit for correction officers of the Westchester County Correction Department, allowing them to retire with a retirement allowance equal to sixty percent of their final average salary after completing thirty years of service, in addition to the existing option of retiring with a retirement allowance equal to one-half of their final average salary after twenty-five years of service. The bill amends sections of the Retirement and Social Security Law to reflect these changes, and clarifies that the county of Westchester will bear all past service costs associated with implementing these provisions, which can be paid over ten years. The bill also states that it takes effect immediately and applies to all members retiring on or after that date.
