GOVERNOR SIGNS DEATH GAMBLE
On Tuesday, October 31, 2000 Governor George E. Pataki signed into law our Death Gamble legislation (S.6550-A, A.9547-A).
This legislation will provide a lump sum death benefit equal to what the member’s pension would have been at the time of death times the actuarial life span. This amount can easily exceed $500,000.
This benefit for Tier II firefighters is effective immediately and is retroactive to July 1, 2000
Our thanks to Governor Pataki, Senator Joe Bruno, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, Senator Nick Spano and Assemblyman Eric Vitaliano for the unwavering support. Copies of this legislation can be obtained by calling Mike Carter’s office at 212-545-6978. Back To Top UFA ELECTION DAY OPERATION
