| La Ciudad y el Estado Propondrán Reformas a la Pensión |
|
El Gobernador Andrew Cuomo y el Alcalde Michael Bloomberg han puesto en alta prioridad reformar la pensión para el Nuevo Año. En su segundo discurso anual sobre el Estado del Estado el 4 de Enero, y en su propuesta fiduciaria el 18 de Enero, Cuomo reafirmó su llamado del año pasado de reducir los beneficios de futuros trabajadores publicos creando un nuevo Escalón (Tier) 6. El plan aumentaría la edad mínima de jubilación y los años requeridos para ser elegible para recibir una pensión. Además, los nuevos empleados del estado y de la ciudad tendrían que escoger entre un plan 401(k) o un plan pensional definido con beneficios reducidos. |
