BILL NUMBER:S6517
Title of bill
An act in relation to authorizing Sean William McCabe to file a request for change of benefit coverage with the New York state and local police and fire retirement system
Purpose
To authorize Sean William McCabe to file a request for change of benefit coverage with the New York state and local police and fire retirement system.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 states that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, Sean William McCabe, a member of the New York state and local police and fire retirement system who was first employed by the Buffalo Police Department on July 31, 2009, who, for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence, elected to participate in the non-contributory retirement plan, shall be deemed to be covered by the benefits of the retirement plan contained in subdivision f of section 384 retroactive to July 31, 2009 if, within one year of the effective date of this act, he shall file a written request to that effect with the state comptroller. Upon the granting of such status, Sean William McCabe shall be granted a refund of any employee contributions made by him to the New York state and local police and fire retirement system.
Section 2 states all past service costs associated with the implementation of this act shall be borne by the city of Buffalo.
Section 3 contains the effective date.
Fiscal Note - There is an anticipated increase of $5,600 in the annual contributions of the City of Buffalo for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. In addition, there will be a past service cost of $12,700, which would be borne by the City of Buffalo as a one-time payment.
Justification
Sean William McCabe, presently employed by The City of Buffalo, erroneously elected to change his retirement status from Tier 3 to Tier 5. This bill allows Mr. McCabe to be granted Tier 3 status in the New York state and local police and fire retirement system, a status he rightfully earned.
