Grants retroactive tier IV membership in the New York state and local employees' retirement system to Raymond Ruckel
S 7118 grants Raymond Ruckel, a former Clarkstown Central School District employee, retroactive Tier IV membership in New York's state retirement system for his August 1, 1990 service start date - when he was initially eligible but didn't join due to no fault of his own. To activate this, Ruckel must apply within one year of the law's effective date, making him eligible for Tier IV benefits retroactively. The bill requires Clarkstown Central School District to cover all past service costs, with no refund of Ruckel's prior contributions, and takes effect immediately. This is a targeted correction for one individual's retirement eligibility, not a broad policy change.
