A 8338 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes Daniel Woolley to receive an accidental disability retirement

Bill A 8338 authorizes Daniel Woolley, a former police officer for the town of Clarkstown, to apply for an accidental disability retirement. Despite having retired in February 2023 and currently receiving a service retirement benefit, this bill allows him to seek a different type of retirement. This provision is due to his diagnosis with an aortic aneurysm in February 2024. To pursue this option, he must file a written request with the state comptroller within one year of the bill becoming law.
