Why exactly is there a cap? Why do retirees 65 and older have no cap? Sounds like age discrimination to me. Please remove the cap altogether. Thank you.
What is the holdup on this ? This is a no-brainer & a MUST for NYS retirees that want to continue to work/contribute to their community.
As a seasoned, experience NYS Retiree smaller Towns and Villages are having tremendous difficulty in finding part time staff in the bookkeeping areas. Please take action on this as soon as possible. This will assist our very small communities in the ability to hire part time retirees. It's really a win-win.
Please pass this Bill, I'm retired live in NY. With this 30k cap we can't male it. Things have doubled or even certain things tripled. There are shortages of these civil service jobs, transportation, teachers etc. We need the money, you need the hired experience workers.
Please pass this bill
Please pass this without delay we retirees deserve this
Well just got off the phone with retirement and she said this comes up every year and keeps getting stalled why is this not important enough to take care of...we earned are retirement and should noi have to suffer.also why are teachers more important..that's not right that they have no worries this year and I do..we elected you to help us now please do.
Having been retired for one year now from working two jobs. Back to work at one. Living on eastern Long Island with high property taxes and the extremely high cost of living in New York just can't cut it with the current $35,000 cap. Please get this bill passed now so that we retirees don't have to worry and possibly not have to move out of NY. It's a no brainer!
