On March 7, 2020 the Governor of New York State declared a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 virus. An immediate adoption of this rule is necessary for the preservation of the general welfare of the members, retirees and beneficiaries of NYSLRS. Effective immediately and notwithstanding any other law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the Comptroller may authorize the suspension of certain administrative and operational requirements related to the retirement system including, but not limited to, the processing and determination of applications for any form of retirement or benefit, participating employer reporting and the conduct and scheduling of administrative hearings. Such change in administrative and operational requirements will be effective for 90 days from the date of filing of this rule unless such emergency rule is readopted or rescinded prior to the expiration of such 90 day period.
