        AN  ACT  to  amend the retirement and social security law, the education
          law and the administrative code of the city of New York,  in  relation
          to  supplemental  military retirement allowances for members of public
          retirement systems of the state
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section  1.  Section 1000 of the retirement and social security law is
     2  amended by adding a new subdivision 8-a to read as follows:
     3    8-a. A person who retired prior  to  December  twenty-first,  nineteen
     4  hundred  ninety-eight and who would have been entitled to the provisions
     5  of this section, may make application to such retirement system no later
     6  than December thirty-first, two  thousand  sixteen  for  a  supplemental
     7  military retirement allowance pursuant to this subdivision.  The supple-
     8  mental  retirement  allowance  provided  by this subdivision shall be in
     9  lieu of any benefit otherwise provided pursuant to this section and  any
    10  credit  granted  for military service with any retirement system of this
    11  state pursuant to any other section of law.  Upon receipt of an applica-
    12  tion, the retirement system shall determine the amount of service credit
    13  such person would have been entitled to receive pursuant to subdivisions
    14  one and two of this section, subject to  the  limitations  contained  in
    15  this section. The supplemental military retirement allowance shall equal
    16  the  retirement  allowance  of  such  person,  computed without optional
    17  modification and not to exceed fifteen thousand dollars,  multiplied  by
    18  twenty-five one-hundredths of one percent per month of the service cred-
    19  it  as  determined  pursuant  to  this subdivision.   One-twelfth of the
    20  supplemental military retirement allowance shall be added to the retire-
    21  ment allowance of such person each month. The benefit  payable  pursuant
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
