BILL NUMBER:S4257 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law and the retirement and social security law, in relation to increasing certain special accidental death benefits PURPOSE: This legislation extends the escalation of a cost of living increase of approximately 3% for all line-of-duty widows or widowers for fiscal year 2013-14. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill amends subdivision c of section 208-f of the General Municipal Law as amended by Chapter 285 of the Laws of 2012 and subdivision c of section 361-a of the Retirement and Social Security Law, as amended by Chapter 285 of the Laws of 2012. EXISTING LAW: Currently, line-of-duty widows or widowers receive a cost of living adjustment that is based upon the year that the widow or widower's spouse died. JUSTIFICATION: Since 1978, the Legislature has passed and the Governor signed into law a cost of living increase and a one-year escalation for all New York State widows and widowers of police officers and fire-fighters killed in the line-of-duty. The intent of the original 1978 law was to increase their benefits to an amount that would reflect the impact of inflation. However, the law did not provide for any new cost of living increase after July 1, 1979.
