BILL NUMBER:S5251
Title of bill
An act to authorize the village of Scotia, in the county of Schenectady, to offer an optional twenty year retirement plan to firefighter Daniel Marchand
Purpose
To authorize the Village of Scotia to enable Daniel Marchand to partic- ipate in an optional twenty year retirement plan.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 authorizes the Village of Scotia to make participation in the optional twenty year retirement plan, established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social security law, available to firefight- er, Daniel Marchand.
Section 2 provides that all costs associated with implementing the provisions of this act shall be borne by the Village of Scotia.
Justification
According to Village records, Mr. Marchand enrolled in the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System on April 1, 2013. At that point in time, he did not elect a retirement plan and was therefore placed in the default plan, 375-i.
However, Village records indicate that Mr. Marchand subsequently submit- ted the election form to enroll in the 384-d plan within the allowable 12 month period.
It wasn't until he received his annual benefits statements that Mr. Marchand noted that the appropriate change from 375-i to 384-d was not recorded.
Since Mr. Marchand has been employed for more than one year he cannot enroll in the desired plan without special legislation. This bill grants him until June 30, 2016 to file appropriate paperwork to enroll in the Section 384-d plan if the Village provides necessary authorization.
Fiscal implications
The Village of Scotia would pay a past service cost of $6,550 as well as an increase in annual contributions.
Effective date
The act shall take effect immediately.
