Pension Buyback Bill for Veterans Delivered to Governor – Act Now
Current law allows public employees who served during specified conflicts to be eligible for pension credit for their military service. One of CSEA’s priority bills would remove all existing requirements that military service be performed during specific hostilities to allow all active duty veterans to purchase up to three years of pension credit for their service. The bill, A.8174A – Paulin / S.5937 – Larkin, passed both houses of the legislature and has now been sent to the Governor.
Governor Cuomo vetoed this legislation last year, and we need your help to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
Call the Governor at 1-877-255-9417 and ask him to sign this bill to ensure that the men and women who risked their lives serving our country receive this benefit in recognition of their service.
Honor Our Veterans
NYS veterans deserve support and recognition for their service. Sign the petition to Gov. Cuomo today asking him to do the right and honor all veterans’ military service!. CLICK HERE
No Social Security COLA in 2016
For the third time since 2010, Social Security recipients will not receive a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in 2016. COLA adjustments are based on inflation, which has been low over the past year thanks in large part to a decline in gasoline prices.
