Committee presses New York State retirement processing after delays for deputy sheriffs' 25‑year credit
Summary
Committee members described confusion and delay in New York State processing of resolutions authorizing 25‑year retirement credit for corrections officers; staff said the state later said deputy sheriffs must be submitted for cost calculation, creating additional work and frustration for officers awaiting retirement.
Committee members raised concerns about delays and mixed messages from the New York State retirement system after resolutions authorizing 25‑year credit were not effectuated as expected.
"We you passed resolutions authorizing the 25 year for corrections officers. We started hearing maybe late March, early April that there were, they hadn't been effectuated yet," Jack said, describing email follow-ups and requests from state staff that county personnel submit deputy sheriffs for the cost calculation. Personnel staff characterized the delays as frustrating and said the county had not caused the hold-up; one member called the state response a "stupid stalling tactic." The committee approved the necessary submission to comply with state direction and voiced frustration on behalf of affected officers.
