AI Summary

  • Reduces the service credit requirement for combining prior and post-restoration service from five years to two years for retired New York State Teachers' Retirement System (NYSTRS) members who return to active service

  • Allows eligible members to combine their pre-retirement service credit with post-restoration service credit for pension benefit calculation purposes, provided they repay their prior pension with interest or accept a lifetime reduction to their new benefit

  • Makes NYSTRS eligibility requirements consistent with state employees in the New York State and Local Retirement System (NYS&LRS), which already allow benefit recalculation after two years of service

  • Applies to retirees receiving non-disability retirement allowances who return to active public service and suspend their pension benefits

  • Takes effect 60 days after enactment; projected to have negligible annual cost to NYSTRS employers

Legislative Description
