BILL NUMBER:S3516
Title of bill
An act to allow Thomas Steier to be reclassified as a Tier II member of the New York City Employees' Retirement System
Purpose
To reclassify Thomas Steier as a member of Tier II of the New York City retirement system.
Summary of provisions
Grants Thomas Steier membership in the New York City Employees' Retirement System with Tier II Status.
Justification
Mr. Steier was employed with the NYC Emplyees' Retirement System (NYCERS) on July 6, 1976 until August 1978. At that time he was advised to wait by his employer before entering the New York City retirement system. By following those instructions, Mr. Steier inadvertently allowed the deadline for Tier II registration to pass.
Because he was given inaccurate information and was subsequently placed into Tier III, it is appropriate that Mr. Steier be allowed to be reclassified as a Tier II member of the New York City retirement system.
Mr. Steier was employed from August 1978 to February 2, 2013 with the NYC transit authority.
