Deems an application filed with the New York state and local police and fire retirement system by the widow of Paul C. Adam as timely filed

Maddy summaryThis bill declares that a retirement application submitted by Cynthia Adam on behalf of her late husband, Paul C. Adam, is considered timely even though it was filed years after the standard deadline. The legislation specifically addresses the conversion of his service retirement to accidental death benefits for victims of the 2001 World Trade Center disaster. By overriding existing rules, the act ensures the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System will process his claim without penalty for the late filing. All costs associated with implementing this change are to be paid by the state of New York.
