Bill > A06761

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 fifty percent of their final average salary after twenty-five years of service. The final average salary (FAS) is a key term in calculating retirement benefits, representing the average of a member's highest consecutive years of earnings. The bill also clarifies that any past service costs associated with implementing these new benefits will be covered by Westchester County and can be spread out over ten years, and it specifies that these changes will apply to all members retiring on or after the bill's effective date.
