Retirees

MEMBER ACTION CENTER

One of the promises of public service is a dignified retirement. It’s why we’re fighting to Fix Tier 6. But the executive budget is going after our retirees in a different way, too. The executive budget proposes changes to Medicare Part B reimbursement premiums for retirees covered by the New York State Health Insurance Program, which means retirees could end up paying thousands of dollars extra for their health insurance. This is wrong. The state shouldn’t attempt to balance its budget on the backs of our retirees. And it’s time to tell our legislators we won’t stand for it! 😎 A simple fix: The Legislature has removed language like this from budget proposals before. Now it’s time to tell them to do it again.
