NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE ISSUE
Recently, information disseminated by law enforcement line organizations about raising the service retirement age to 50 for public safety employees has resulted in the Fund receiving numerous inquiries. Please be advised that the regulation affecting this matter has been amended to give public pension plans an extension of time to comply with the regulation. That deadline is now January 1, 2011. Additionally, PPF members should be aware that this issue is a high priority for various public safety employee unions. National organizations such as NAPO and other powerful lobbying groups such as the US Conference of Mayors, International Association of Firefighters, the American Federation of Teachers, AFSCME and many others, are focusing on this issue and have already obtained the aforementioned time extension. These organizations will continue those efforts to get this regulation amended for public pension plans and PPF will advise our members about this issue as soon as more information becomes available. Please visit our website at www.nyc.gov/nycppf for future updates.
IF YOU ARE ALREADY RETIRED, THIS ISSUE WILL NOT AFFECT YOU.
Additionally, our legal Counsel has tentatively concurred that “these regulations WILL NOT affect the ability of members to retire after completing the required years of service…” These IRS regulations address what is called in-service distributions – which are NOT allowed within the Police Pension Fund for any affected member.
