NYS law states that if your pension is protected if you are convicted of a misdemeanor.
How is your pension protected if the MOS (this Sgt) was not collecting it in the first place. You must be retired to collect your pension, so, if you are still an active employee, you can still be fired for cause and be denied your pension. The job only has to reimburse the money you contributed. Then you'll have to sue to get your pension reinstated. Please do not take an inflexible position that 20 yrs is the finish line. There are other current cases where the job has fired people over 20 yrs and lost their pension.
According to your position, once you reached 20+, an MOS can go light up, fail a dole test and still get his pension. If that's the case, there can be any number of drug addicts on the job with over 20 yrs.
...NOT !!!!
If you are already collecting your pension, this all really doesn't matter, but for those of you still on the job, walk that tight rope till you do retire. There are no guarantees that you will automatically collect just because you made it to 20.
This Sgt was pushed out and told (probably) you're lucky to collect anything at all. Now go voucher your guns.
