Will-Bx-718 Posted March 17, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 17, 2011 Any one know how good are the city benifits and when do they kick in once you get hired? It all depends on what city agency you work for and what title you're being hired for. With the it takes 90 days before your benefits are active. With the case of my girl friend who works as a School Safety Agent for the NYPD, had her benefits kick in within less than 30 days. And with the hourlies have inferior benefits than management and don't get life time coverage after retirement . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted March 17, 2011 Share #3 Posted March 17, 2011 SIRTOA is 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Posted March 17, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 17, 2011 You still get health benefits after you retire, but you lose your vision coverage. My father is a retired hourly worker and he has Blue Corss Blue Shield. The MTA also pays to insure my mother and myself. In full disclosure, he has a Tier I pension. When you start working, you will be in Tier V, which is far less generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will-Bx-718 Posted March 17, 2011 Share #5 Posted March 17, 2011 Well your talking about two different things, tier 1st and tier 4 or 5 benefits are not the same. So what ever your father gets is not what I will get or any other new hires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutgers Tube Posted March 17, 2011 Share #6 Posted March 17, 2011 First, tier plans concern pensions, NOT health insurance, deferred compensation plans such as a 401(k), 457, Roth, etc., or any other benefits. Retirement tier plans and health insurance benefits for retirees are not related, at least not for those who are enrolled in NYCERS. My NYCERS pension is the Tier 4 plan, but my deferred comp plans and health benefits come through OLR and DC-37 and my transportation benefits come via WageWorks. Union contracts generally determine all benefit schedules, but NYS and NYC retirement tiers concern pensions and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahon5 Posted March 23, 2011 Share #7 Posted March 23, 2011 When do pensions vest for MTA employees? If I work 7 years, will I get some sort of pension if I leave before age 50, or 25 years on the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
