1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

NYPD retirement age raised to 65

The law sets age 65 as the mandatory retirement cap for most NYPD uniformed members, and state law now uses the same age for this group. Other member classes keep their current ages. It takes effect immediately. You can keep working until you qualify for a service pension, but not past 65. If you pay into Social Security, you may stay until you earn the needed quarters, but not past 65. If you have not reached 35 years of city service by age 63, you may work until you reach 35 years, but not past 65.
