BILL NUMBER:S6679 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to providing for an increase in the rates of compensation for gold star parents PURPOSE: To provide for an annual increase in the rate of compensation for Gold Star Parents. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of section 367 of the executive law to allow for an increase of the annual annuity payment of Gold Star Parents by the same percentage as benefit amounts payable under title II of the Social Security Act (42 USC 401 et seq.) effective December first, two thousand thirteen.

It is recognition of the emotional loss and of the financial implications to parents of the deceased, as there are many instances in which the deceased contributed to the financial well-being of his or her parents. Since its implementation in 2008, the Gold Star Parent Annuity has not been increased. As inflation and
