Special Military Benefits and Post-Discharge Benefits available to employees of New York State as the employer through December 31, 2021

The Governor's Office of Employee Relations has signed Memoranda of Understanding with the Civil Service Employees Association, Council 82, District Council 37, NYS Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association, Police Benevolent Association of New York State, Graduate Students Employee Union, Public Employees Federation, and United University Professions, extending current special military benefits for service in connection with the war on terror, and certain benefits in connection with return from military duty for duty related to the war on terror that exceeds 180 days' duration through December 31, 2021. 

The same benefits provided in these MOUs are extended to State personnel designated Managerial or Confidential employees for the purposes of Article 14 of the Civil Service Law [the Taylor Law].
