 vision 4 of section 425 of the  real  property  tax  law,  as  added  by
 section  1  of  part NN of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, is amended to
 read as follows:
   (C-1) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (C)  of  this  subpara-
 graph,  in  the event that a senior citizen, as a result of the death of
 [his or her] SUCH SENIOR CITIZEN'S spouse, OR UPON  RETIREMENT,  experi-
 ences  a  decrease  in  income such that [he or she] SUCH SENIOR CITIZEN
 would qualify for the enhanced exemption if [his  or  her]  SUCH  SENIOR
 CITIZEN'S eligibility were based upon [his or her] SUCH SENIOR CITIZEN'S
 income  for the income tax year immediately subsequent to the income tax
 year that would otherwise be applicable pursuant to clause (C)  of  this
 subparagraph,  then  the  eligibility  of  such  senior  citizen for the
 enhanced exemption on the applicable taxable status date shall be deter-
 mined based upon [his or her] SUCH  SENIOR  CITIZEN'S  income  for  such
 later income tax year; provided that the income tax return for such year
 has  been  filed with the appropriate state or federal agency and a copy
 thereof has been filed with the assessor on  or  before  the  applicable
 taxable  status  date,  or other documentation of income eligibility has
 been filed with the assessor on or before the applicable taxable  status
 date.
