  for retirement with the New York state teachers' retirement system

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
Domingo Cabrera, a member of the New  York  state  teachers'  retirement
system, who ceased his employment as a teacher with the Mamaroneck union
free  school district on January 2, 2009, because of mental illness, and
who because of such illness did not apply to such retirement system  for
disability  retirement  benefits  until May 19, 2011, shall be deemed to
have applied to the New York state teachers' retirement system for disa-
bility retirement benefits within 30 days of his ceasing to be  employed
on January 2, 2009.
  S  2.  All  costs incurred in implementing the provisions of this act,
shall be borne by the New York state teachers' retirement system.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
  FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
  This bill concerns Domingo Cabrera, a vested member of  the  New  York
State Teachers' Retirement System who ceased his employment as a teacher
with  the  Mamaroneck  Union  Free  School  District  on January 2, 2009
because of mental illness, and did not apply for  disability  retirement
benefits  until  May  19, 2011, after the 12 month deadline to apply for
disability had lapsed. He shall be deemed to have applied for disability
retirement benefits within 30 days of ceasing his employment on  January
2,  2009.  As  a  vested  member  Mr.  Cabrera is eligible for a service
retirement benefit commencing at age 55.
  The cost of this benefit is equal to the increase in the present value
of liabilities, which is estimated to be $117,000. This cost is  contin-
gent  upon  the approval of Domingo Cabrera's application for disability
retirement by the Medical Board of the New York State Teachers'  Retire-
ment System.
