The approved bill that created a Tier
V also commits the Legislature and the Governor to
offer a 55/25 early retirement option for NYSUT
members in the State TRS and ERS during a
three-month window in 2010. This retirement program
is expected to be available at employee election and
is not subject to employer authorization.
At this point the fine details, including dates of 3 month window are not yet known. More information coming soon.
