Title of bill

An act in relation to authorizing James Mallan to apply for an increase in his disability pension

Purpose

To allow James Mallan to have his retirement benefits calculated based on his final average salary at the time of his application for disability retirement benefits on February 28, 2008.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 provides that notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, James Mallan shall have his retirement benefits calculated based on his final average salary at the time of his application for disability retirement benefits on February 28, 2008, if he files an application with the state comptroller on or before December 31, 2016.

Section 2 is the effective date.

Justification

James Mallan commenced employment with the New York State Department of Correctional Services on May 30, 1988. Through no negligence of his own he was disabled while completing training at the Correctional Services Training Academy on June 29, 1988. He was granted a disability retirement in April 1990 at one-third of his final salary. Mr. Mallan was reinstated by the Department Correctional Services in 1992 and then again in 1997. Each time his service ended because of injuries.

This bill allows his retirement benefits to be calculated based on his final average salary at the time of his application for disability retirement benefits on February 28, 2008, if he files an application with the state comptroller on or before December 31, 2015.
