AN ACT in relation to the death benefit payable to the widow of Garry L.
Veeder
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, Donna
Veeder, the widow of Garry L. Veeder, shall be hereby eligible to change
the date of retirement of her husband, who was employed as a state
police forensic scientist 3, to April 30, 2008, if she shall, on or
before December 31, 2009, file a written request with the state comp-
troller electing to receive such benefit. Any retirement benefits to be
received due to the change in date of retirement of Garry L. Veeder
shall be offset by any retirement benefits already received by his bene-
ficiary.
S 2. Any costs associated with the implementation of this act shall be
borne by the state of New York.
S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
FISCAL NOTE.-- Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
This bill would deem Garry L Veeder, who died May 23, 2008 and who had
previously filed an application to retire with a service retirement
effective May 30, 2008, to have retired with a service retirement on
April 30, 2008. Donna Veeder, the widow of Garry L Veeder, would be
entitled to a lifetime pension and a lump sum post retirement death
benefit. This would be paid in lieu of the ordinary death benefit which
has already been paid.
If this bill is enacted, there would be a one-time cost to the State
of New York of approximately $413,000. This estimate is based on the
assumption that payment will be made on March 1, 2010.
This estimate, dated March 26, 2009, and intended for use only during
the 2009 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2009-135 prepared by
the Actuary for the NYS & LERS.
