NY S09451

Grants retroactive Tier IV membership in the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System to Katie Adamek, changing her status from Tier V to Tier IV with a membership date of November 23, 2009

Adamek must file an application with the state comptroller within one year of the act's effective date to receive the retroactive membership

Schenectady City School District will bear all past service costs, including a one-time payment of $87,000 and an estimated annual contribution increase of $2,300 beginning fiscal year 2027

No refund of member contributions will be provided to Adamek

The bill addresses Adamek's failure to enroll in the retirement system when she first became eligible in 2009, which occurred through no fault of her own
