S 5928 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Grants retroactive membership with Tier IV status in the New York state and local employees' retirement system to Dawn Ward

This bill grants Dawn Ward retroactive membership in New York's state and local employees' retirement system, effective November 1, 1993 - the date she began working for the Village of Kensington. It specifically grants her Tier IV retirement status, correcting an oversight where she was not enrolled upon hire. To qualify, Dawn Ward must apply within one year of the bill's effective date, and the Village of Kensington will cover all associated costs. The bill does not provide refunds for past employee contributions she already made.
