        AN ACT to amend the civil service law, in relation to reimbursement  for

     1    Section 1. Section 167-a of the  civil  service  law,  as  amended  by
     2  section  1  of  part  I of chapter 55 of the laws of 2012, is amended to
     3  read as follows:
     4    § 167-a. Reimbursement for medicare [premium] charges. Upon  exclusion
     5  from  the  coverage  of the health benefit plan of supplementary medical
     6  insurance benefits for which an active or retired employee or a  depend-
     7  ent covered by the health benefit plan is or would be eligible under the
     8  federal  old-age,  survivors and disability insurance program, an amount
     9  equal to the premium charge and any other additional  charges  for  such
    10  supplementary  medical  insurance  benefits  for  such active or retired
    11  employee and his or her dependents, if any, shall be paid monthly or  at
    12  other  intervals  to  such  active  or  retired employee from the health
    13  insurance fund. Where appropriate, such  amount  may  be  deducted  from
    14  contributions  payable  by  the  employee  or retired employee; or where
    15  appropriate in the case of a retired  employee  receiving  a  retirement
    16  allowance,  such  amount  may  be  included  with payments of his or her
    17  retirement allowance. All state employer, employee, retired employee and

    21  the health benefit plan as authorized by subdivision two of section  one
    22  hundred  sixty-three  of this article, shall be adjusted as necessary to
    23  cover the cost of reimbursing federal old-age, survivors and  disability
    24  insurance program premium charges under this section. This cost shall be
    25  included  in  the  calculation  of  premium  or subscription charges for

     4  authorities, public benefit corporations or other quasi-public organiza-
     5  tions  of the state shall remain obligated to pay no less than its share
     6  of  such  increased  cost  consistent  with  its  share  of  premium  or
     7  subscription  charges  provided  for by this article. All other employer
