Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to providing three years of retirement service credit to certain members of public retirement systems of the state honorably discharged from the military for medical reasons due to injuries suffered during certain military conflicts
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow individuals who were injured during certain military conflicts to be eligible for the full three years of service credit available from chapter 548 of the Laws of 2000.
Summary of specific provisions
Amends Section 1000 of the retirement and social security law to allow individuals who were injured during certain military conflicts to be eligible for the full three years of service credit available from chapter 548 of the Laws of 2000. Nothing in the bill authorizes or permits the crediting of service where not permitted pursuant to section 415(n) of the internal revenue code.
Justification
Currently, individuals who were injured in defense of the country are not necessarily eligible for the full three year retirement credit if they were honorably discharged early. This legislation takes away that inequity by allowing them to receive the full three years of retirement credit.
