BILL NUMBER:S7736
Title of bill
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and the retirement and social security law, in relation to the disability benefits of members of the New York city fire department pension fund
Purpose
The legislative proposal will provide Tier 3 fire pension fund members who were hired after July 1, 2009; the same ordinary and accidental disability pension's afforded to Tier 1 and Tier 2 members.
Summary of provisions
The legislative proposal will provide Tier 3 fire pension fund members who were hired after July 1, 2009; the same ordinary and accidental disability pension's afforded to Tier 1 and Tier 2 members. This proposal explicitly includes FDNY employees who service the NYC Fire Department as medical officers and hold a uniform rank.
Justification
This bill will provide much needed parity amongst the ranks of all FDNY employees including medical officers employed by the NYC Fire Department. This bill provides Tier 3 fire pension fund members who were hired after July 1, 2009; the same ordinary and accidental disability pension's afforded to Tier 1 and Tier 2 members. After the expiration of Tier 2 uniformed firefighters, officers and medical officers lost the benefit of ordinary and accidental disability pensions. This bill will correct this loss and provide parity across all uniformed firefighters, officer and medical officers in the City of New York.
