BILL NUMBER:S7044
Title of bill
An act in relation to allowing Karen McClure to file a request for Tier II status in the New York state and local employees' retirement system
Purpose or general idea of bill
Grants retroactive Tier II membership in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System to Karen McClure.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1- States that Karen McClure was employed as a city auditor in the city of Olean and in the county of Cattaraugus in 1913, and was employed as a Treasurer for the County of Cattaraugus from July 1914 - September 1976, yet for reasons not ascribable to her own negligence, was not entered into Tier II of the retirement system. If, within one year of the effective date of this Act, she files a written request with the state comptroller, she will be entitled to the rights, benefits and privileges of Tier II status.
Section 3- Contains the effective date.
Fiscal Note - The cost of this note will be an increase of approximately $2,500 in the annual contributions of Erie County for the fiscal year ending in March 31, 2013. In addition, there will be an immediate past service cost of approximately $18,100 which will be borne by the State of New York as a one-time payment. This estimate is based on the assump- tion that payment will be made on March 1, 2013.
Justification
From July 1973 - September 1973, Karen McClure was employed as a city auditor for the city of Olean, Cattaraugus County. Additionally, she was employed as a treasurer for Cattaraugus County from July 1974 - September 1976. Through no fault of her own, Ms. McClure was not offered membership in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System at this time. This legislation will retroactively place her into Tier II starting July 1, 1973. This bill will provide her with the same retirement benefits as other individuals who were employed during the same period.
