A 8489 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes Scott Hoag to receive certain credit under section 384-d of the retirement and social security law

This bill authorizes Scott Hoag, a Rome police officer, to receive credit in New York's special twenty-year retirement plan (Section 384-d) after he missed a filing deadline through no fault of his own. It requires the City of Rome to formally approve the credit within six months by filing a resolution with the state comptroller, covering all associated costs (which can be paid over ten years). If approved, Hoag may then apply to switch to the special retirement plan. The bill directly affects Hoag’s retirement benefits and places the financial responsibility on the City of Rome.
