Go to top STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ S. 5505 A. 7069 2017-2018 Regular Sessions SENATE - ASSEMBLY April 4, 2017 ___________ IN SENATE -- Introduced by Sen. LAVALLE -- read twice and ordered print- ed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Civil Service and Pensions IN ASSEMBLY -- Introduced by M. of A. THIELE, PALUMBO -- read once and referred to the Committee on Governmental Employees AN ACT to provide for an increased death benefit for the survivors of a deceased police officer The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. The legislature finds and declares that the late Theodore 2 Raffel served the village of Southampton for nineteen years, three 3 hundred sixty-four days and fifteen and one-half hours as a police offi- 4 cer. At the time of officer Raffel's death, a situation which was not 5 due to negligence on the part of such individual, there had been paid 6 into the New York state and local police and fire retirement system on 7 his behalf contributions in the amount of approximately one hundred 8 eighteen thousand dollars. Nevertheless, the amount of the death bene- 9 fit paid to officer Raffel's widow was much less than that amount. 10 § 2. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, the New York 11 state and local police and fire retirement system is authorized and 12 directed to pay to the beneficiary of police officer Theodore Raffel, 13 who was employed by the village of Southampton as a police officer from 14 1966, until his death on June 1, 1986, the sum of all of the contrib- 15 utions paid by the village of Southampton to such system on behalf of 16 such police officer, less any sums previously paid by such system to 17 such beneficiary, with interest, compounded annually, calculated at the 18 rate established in accordance with the provisions of subdivision c of 19 section 1202 of the retirement and social security law. Such interest 20 shall be calculated from June 1, 1986 to May 31, 2017. 21 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately. EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD10681-03-7S. 5505 2 A. 7069 FISCAL NOTE. -- Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50: This bill would create an additional death benefit paid to the benefi- ciary of deceased police officer Theodore Raffel. The additional death benefit amount would be the sum of the contributions paid by the Village of Southampton to the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retire- ment System on behalf of Mr. Raffel, less any sums previously paid by such system to his beneficiary. Such balance would have 5% interest applied for the period 6/1/86 -- 5/31/17. If this bill is enacted, the estimated cost of the additional death benefit would be approximately $180,000. This cost would be shared by the State of New York and all participating employers in the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System.
