NY A10310

Allows Abigail Rivera, widow of deceased police officer Mark Rivera, to apply for Enhanced Tier 3 membership on her husband's behalf within one year of the act's effective date.

Mark Rivera was a Tier 3 member of the Police Pension Fund when he died on March 21, 2015, and became eligible for Enhanced Tier 3 only after his death.

Abigail Rivera may file for any retirement options or death benefits that would have been available to Mark Rivera as an Enhanced Tier 3 member, with prior ordinary death benefits ($167,000) deducted from new benefits.

The City of New York bears all costs of this legislation, estimated at approximately $2.5 million in present value of future benefits to the Police Pension Fund.

The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
