Bill > A08579

This bill allows certain employees of the City of Yonkers Parks Department who worked between 2009 and 2014, and who are currently members of the New York City Teachers' Retirement System (TRS), to receive retroactive Tier IV membership in TRS for that period, provided they apply within one year of the bill's enactment and did not become members of the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System due to reasons beyond their control. Tier IV is a specific membership tier within the retirement system that affects benefits and contribution rates, and this bill aims to correct a situation where these employees may have missed out on this beneficial tier due to circumstances outside their fault. The cost associated with granting this retroactive membership will be covered by the City of New York.
