BILL NUMBER:S3577 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the retirement and social security law, in relation to providing credit to members of public retirement systems of the state for military service rendered during the cold war PURPOSE: To make eligible retirement benefits for United States mili- tary personnel that served between September 2, 1945 to December 26, 1991; also known as the "Cold War". SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The addition of subdivision 2-a to section 1000 of the retirement and social security law ("military service credit" portion). EXISTING LAW: Military members upon application to New York State's public retirement system can obtain service credit of up to three years for three years of military duty if such military members were found to have participated in hostilities defined in subdivision 2, section 1000, of the retirement and social security law. JUSTIFICATION: The Cold War was a decades-long struggle for global supremacy involving the United States and the Soviet Union. Certain factors made the Cold War a militarized struggle: Communism takeover in China, threats of Soviet nuclear weapons, tensions within Germany, the Truman Doctrine of 1947, the Warsaw Pact of 1955, the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and commencement of the Korean War.
