S 9202 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to first grade firefighters and promotions from the firefighter rank

This bill establishes longevity bonuses for New York City firefighters with 25+ years of service. It adds 5% to pension calculations upon retirement after 25 years, plus an additional 1% for each year beyond 25 (capped at 15% total after 35 years). The bonus increases the salary used to calculate pension benefits under the firefighters' pension plan. It directly affects NYC firefighters retiring after long careers with the Fire Department. The change applies immediately upon the bill's effective date.
