Relates to changes of membership eligibility in a New York state retirement system
This bill requires state employees and their employers to sign a written acknowledgment when changing job titles or duties that would affect retirement benefits. Specifically, it mandates that both parties confirm in writing that the employee will no longer be eligible for membership or service credit in their retirement system as of a specified date. The employer must then submit this signed document to the retirement board or comptroller within 30 days to formalize the change. It applies to employees in New York state retirement systems covered under Education Law, Retirement Law, and other defined plans. The bill creates a procedural requirement for documenting eligibility changes, not altering benefit calculations or eligibility rules themselves.
