The NYCERS Board had their November Regular Meeting last Thursday. In the last 5 minutes of a two hour long meeting the actuary's representative dropped a bomb on the retired Correction Officers. They were not going to get their VSF payment this year.
Last Saturday my blog got inundated with hits, almost a thousand inquiries on my most recent posting on NYCERS's poor investment performance in FY-2016. Guess who gets hammered when NYCERS trustees screw up? Not the trustees but the retired Correction Officers.
Also something funny happened in FY-2016. NYCERS clawed back $52.724M from the COVSF. You can see in my previous posting the regular "skim" to the COVSF for the last six years.
