Correction Officer VSF (COVSF) Payment for 2016

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.

Hey John,

One mistake, in 2014 the payout was roughly $76 million not $38 million.

Once your pension loan is paid off is your pension recalculated to reflect the loan is no longer outstanding?
