Panel backs ending Social Security offset for New York public workers
A state panel urges Gov. Cuomo and lawmakers to scrap the Tier 1 offset that reduces pensions by half of Social Security retirement payments. It proposes a 1.5 percent of final salary times years of service up to 35 as the pension, plus all Social Security, while preserving Tier II 3 percent contributions and promising improved disability benefits. The plan, outlined in April, will be reviewed by the governor’s personnel director as lawmakers face a June 30 deadline to resolve Tier III.
