BILL NUMBER:S5807 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to additional credit for military service for disabled veterans PURPOSE: This legislation create a second tier of military service credits for those veterans who served five or more years and are receiving a federal government sponsored disability benefit. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill would amend Chapter 548 of the Laws of 2000 to allow certain members who were honorably discharged from the military with at least 5 years of active duty, who are now receiving a federal government sponsored disability benefit to purchase up to an additional eighteen (18) months of service credit. The additional service credits granted pursuant to this legislation when added to credit granted for military service pursuant to any other provision of law shall not exceed 4.5 years JUSTIFICATION: This legislation attempts to compensation disabled members who served their nation for five or more years and received an honorable discharge for their service with the reward of being able to buy additional pension time in their retirement system. It is only fitting and proper that these American Patriots be treated in this manner.
