BILL NUMBER:S7628A
Title of bill
An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to injuries or illnesses suffered as a result of participating in rescue, recovery and cleanup directly related to attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001
Purpose
Reopens notice of participation for certain members who contracted illness suffered as a result of participating in rescue, recovery, and clean up directly related to attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Summary of provisions
Extends the deadline during which to file as having a world trade center condition and modifies qualifications.
Justification
This bill will extend the deadline for filing a registration of participation under the World Trade Center (WTC) Disability Law for those members who were eligible and never filed an application. Some of these members have become disabled with a WTC qualifying condition and have been precluded from receiving the WTC disability benefits because they never filed the notice of participation during the open window period. This bill will correct this inequity.
