Bill > S06184

This bill amends the administrative code of New York City and the retirement and social security law to address the rights of public retirement system members who retire and then later rejoin the system. Specifically, for members who retired on or after July 1, 1976, and subsequently re-enter public service and rejoin a retirement system, the bill ensures they will retain the same rights, benefits, and privileges they had when they first entered the retirement system. This means that if a retiree returns to work and rejoins a public retirement system, they will be treated as if they had never left, effectively preserving their original membership status and associated entitlements. The changes apply to various public retirement systems in New York, providing consistency and protection for public employees who may choose to return to work after an initial retirement. The bill aims to eliminate potential penalties or loss of benefits that might otherwise occur when a retiree re-enters public service, thereby offering more flexibility and security for public sector workers.
