AN ACT to amend the retirement and social security  law,  the  education
  law  and  the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation
  to supplemental military retirement allowances for members  of  public
  retirement systems of the state

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

  Section 1. Section 1000 of the retirement and social security  law  is
amended by adding a new subdivision 8-a to read as follows:
  8-A.  A  PERSON  WHO  RETIRED  PRIOR TO MAY THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN AND WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN ENTITLED TO  THE  PROVISIONS  OF  THIS
SECTION,  MAY  MAKE  APPLICATION TO SUCH RETIREMENT SYSTEM NO LATER THAN
DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY FOR A  SUPPLEMENTAL  MILITARY
RETIREMENT  ALLOWANCE  PURSUANT  TO THIS SUBDIVISION.   THE SUPPLEMENTAL
RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE PROVIDED BY THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE  IN  LIEU  OF
ANY  BENEFIT  OTHERWISE PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION AND ANY CREDIT
GRANTED FOR MILITARY SERVICE WITH ANY RETIREMENT SYSTEM  OF  THIS  STATE
PURSUANT  TO  ANY OTHER SECTION OF LAW.  UPON RECEIPT OF AN APPLICATION,
THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM SHALL DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF SERVICE CREDIT  SUCH
PERSON  WOULD HAVE BEEN ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISIONS ONE
AND TWO OF THIS SECTION, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS  CONTAINED  IN  THIS
SECTION.  THE SUPPLEMENTAL MILITARY RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE SHALL EQUAL THE
RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE OF SUCH PERSON, COMPUTED WITHOUT OPTIONAL MODIFICA-
TION AND NOT TO EXCEED FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, MULTIPLIED  BY  TWENTY-
FIVE  ONE-HUNDREDTHS  OF  ONE PERCENT PER MONTH OF THE SERVICE CREDIT AS
DETERMINED PURSUANT TO THIS SUBDIVISION.   ONE-TWELFTH  OF  THE  SUPPLE-
MENTAL  MILITARY  RETIREMENT  ALLOWANCE SHALL BE ADDED TO THE RETIREMENT
ALLOWANCE OF SUCH PERSON EACH MONTH. THE  BENEFIT  PAYABLE  PURSUANT  TO
THIS  SECTION SHALL COMMENCE ON THE NEXT RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE PAYABLE AT
LEAST THIRTY DAYS AFTER THE RECEIPT OF AN APPLICATION FROM SUCH  PERSON.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
