The Correction Captains Association continues its efforts to restore the 20-year service retirement benefit for Department of Correction officers hired after April 1, 2012.

As you may know, Gov. Kathy Hochul has vetoed the legislation we advocated for that aimed to reinstate this important benefit. We had every elected official inclusive of the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, and Asian Legislative Caucus. This bill was an important piece of legislation that would have helped with retention and recruitment for the department.

While this is not the outcome we hoped for, we will continue to pursue options that support the rights and well-being of our members. Gov. Hochul has obviously failed us by not investing in our department workforce and has shown blatant disregard for public safety.

We appreciate your ongoing support and commitment to our cause. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.
