2REQUIREMENTS FOR MILITARY SERVICE UNDER ARTICLE 20
To be eligible to receive credit for your military service under Article 20, you must:
have been honorably discharged;
have at least five years of credited service in the Retirement System at the time you apply for your
military service credit;
not have credit for this service in any other public retirement system in New York State;
apply for and purchase credit for your military service prior to retirement.
If you are covered by a plan that has a maximum service limit, your military service credit cannot be used to
exceed the maximum service limit.
For Tier 1 through 5 members, payment of 3 percent of the compensation you earned during the year
of credited service immediately prior to our receiving your application, times the number of years of
credit you are seeking, must be paid into the Retirement System’s Pension Accumulation Fund.
For Tier 6 members, the cost is 6 percent. THESE PAYMENTS ARE REFUNDABLE ONLY IF THE
MILITARY SERVICE CREDIT CANNOT BE USED IN THE CALCULATION OF A BENEFIT.
Payment must be made in a period no longer than the amount of credit being granted.
Prorated credit will be granted for partial payment.
