BILL NUMBER:S5545A
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to eligibility of uniformed personnel of the New York city department of correction for ordinary disability benefits
Purpose
This bill will remove the post-retirement earnings restrictions for New York City department of correction personnel.
Summary of provisions
Section 507-a of the retirement and social security law is amended by adding a new subdivision f.
Justification
The current statutory cap on post retirement earnings for new york city correction employees has not been modified in many years and imposes an income level that only serves to punish the brave men and women who have worked for so many years protecting the public and working the toughest beat in law enforcement.
This measure recognizes the service and sacrifice made by these brave public servants and will bring much needed reform to an outdated income restriction.
