                               2017-2018 Regular Sessions
 
                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                      March 7, 2017
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced by M. of A. ABBATE -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Governmental Employees
 
        AN  ACT  to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to
          accidental disability retirement
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1. Paragraph 2 of subdivision a of section 363 of the retire-
     2  ment and social security law, as amended by chapter 489 of the  laws  of
     3  2008, is amended to read as follows:
     4    2. Actually in service upon which his membership is based. However, in
     5  a  case  where  a  member is discontinued from service subsequent to the
     6  accident, either voluntarily or involuntarily,  and  provided  that  the
     7  member  meets  the  requirements  of  paragraph one of this subdivision,
     8  application may be made, either (a) by a vested member incapacitated  as
     9  the  result  of  a qualifying World Trade Center condition as defined in
    10  section two of this chapter at any time, or (b) not later than two years
    11  after the member is first discontinued from service.   Provided  further
    12  that in the case of an application filed for accidental disability bene-
    13  fits  pursuant to section three hundred sixty-three-d of this title, the
    14  requirements for filing for such benefits shall be five years.
    15    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and apply to all  applica-
    16  tions filed on or after January 1, 2014.
          FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to legislative law, Section 50:
          This bill would extend the filing deadline from 2 years to 5 years for
        active  and  retired firefighters in the New York State and Local Police
        and Fire Retirement System to file an application for  accidental  disa-
        bility retirement due to certain cancers. It will apply to all disabili-
        ty applications filed on or after January 1, 2014.
          If  this  bill  is enacted, the cost would depend on the age, service,
        salary and plan of the affected firefighters, as well  as  whether  such
        person  would have otherwise been eligible for, or has been receiving an
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD08114-02-7

        A. 6403                             2
 
        ordinary disability, a performance  of  duty  disability  or  a  service
        retirement.
          For  those  who apply for this benefit subsequent to a service retire-
        ment, it is estimated that there would be an average per person cost  of
        approximately  2  times final average salary. For those who apply subse-
        quent to a performance of duty retirement, it is  estimated  that  there
        would  be  an  average  per person cost of approximately 2.5 times final
        average salary. For those who apply subsequent to an ordinary disability
        retirement, it is estimated that there would be an  average  per  person
        cost  of  approximately  5  times  final  average  salary. The number of
        members and retirees who could be affected by this legislation cannot be
        readily determined. These costs would be borne by the State of New  York
        and  all  the  participating  employers  in the New York State and Local
        Police and Fire Retirement System.
          For the one person known to be affected, there will be a one-time cost
        of approximately $256,000. This cost will be shared by the State of  New
        York and all the participating employers in the New York State and Local
        Police and Fire Retirement System.
