BILL NUMBER: S4419 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to certain suspension of pensions and annuities during public employment PURPOSE : To prevent "double dipping by requiring that the pension of a "retired" highly-paid public employee be suspended if he or she returns to the same or substantially similar position if such pension is equal to or greater than a SG-24 salary level. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : The bill amends the Civil Service Law, by adding the specification that when an employee after retirement is reappointed to the same or substantially similar position from which she/he retired then his/her allotted pension or annual annuity shall be suspended during the employment if his/her pension is equal to or more than the annual salary rate of a SG-24 level position. This provision remains in effect until the individual reaches the age of 70. The retiree would be able to earn up to the earning limitation provided for in section 212 of the Retirement & Social Security Law without suspension. This provision remains in effect until the individual reaches the age of 70.
