Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to authorize Faye Marie Mazzola to apply for retroactive membership and service credit in the New York state and local employees' retirement system

Purpose

To grant Faye Marie Mazzola retroactive membership and Tier 1 status in the New York State and local employees' retirement system.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 grants Faye Marie Mazzola service credit and retroactive Tier 1 status for her seasonal employment with the town of Frankfort during the summers of 1958, 1959 and 1960.

Section 2 states that no contributions made to the New York state teachers' retirement system shall be returned to Faye Marie Mazzola pursuant to this act.

Section 3 requires all past service costs of implementing the provisions of this act to be paid by the town of Frankfort.

Justification

Faye Marie Mazzola was employed as a seasonal attendant by the town of Frankfort during the summers of 1958, 1959 and 1960. Through no fault of her own, Ms. Mazzola was not offered membership in the New York State and local employees' retirement system. This bill would rectify the situation by recognizing Ms. Mazzola's previous service and providing her with the same retirement benefits as other individuals who were employed during the same time period.

Legislative history
