Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act granting retroactive tier I membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement system to Arlene Samos
Purpose or general idea
Grants retroactive Tier I membership in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System to Arlene Samos
Summary of provisions
Section 1- states that Arlene Samos was employed by the county of Suffolk permanently in October of 1965, yet for reasons not ascribable to her own negligence was not entered into Tier I of the retirement system
Section 2- States any costs will be incurred by the State.
Section 3- Contains the effective date.
Justification
From October 1965 until December 1967, Arlene Samos was employed by the New York City Board of Education. Through no fault of her own, Ms. Samos was not offered membership in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System. This legislation will retroactively place her into Tier I. This bill would rectify the situation by recognizing Ms. Samos' previous service and providing her with the same retirement benefits as other individuals who were employed during the same period.
Legislative history
This is a new bill.
Fiscal implications
We anticipate that there will be an increase of approximately $5,400 in the annual contributions of the Suffolk County OTB Corporation for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.
In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, we anticipate that there will be an immediate past service cost of approximately $60,800, which will be borne by the State of New York and all participating employers in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
