Another question.  Do you have Olha or 180 Livingston Street's number.  Its in regards to the safgard shoes. The site is still not recognizing my Pass and BSC  I tried emailing and safgard said check in with mta and I emailed some mta people and they didnt respond back yet.   Thanks in advance.

Olha.nyahay@nyct.com and this is her number: (347)643-8217. The class should last 8hrs, so it will end around 11:30pm. I might be wrong.

You mean on your own? When you finish school car and when you go posting but when you go posting you'll be with another conductor

School Car is like 4-5 weeks, posting a week then you are on your own.

[Tony77]

I was just placed back on the waiting list and my list# is 19** which definitely surpassed.  I was originally on medical hold last may before the height of the pandemic and sent in my release letter from the doctor within the same week. Since the pandemic, I was emailing a contact I had but no communication until a month ago, my friend advised me the MTA needed conductors so I got on my grind.

How can I speed up the process to get the ball rolling for the next pre-employment process?

No. But if the next class is in September we probably won't get it until August. I got a call a few weeks ago telling me to be on the lookout for next steps but nothing yet. Guess we'll just have t wait a little while longer.

Well you have time. Today in school car, a TSS told us the next class will be in September since they don’t like to overlap classes. Get it done ASAP and try reaching out to Olha

Good Morning to all.  Got up early to go over other emails and am doing my 401 now.  Few questions.  I know it sounds sily but What to put in the "Original Date Employed" box , the effective date or the reporting date from the sheet I was given prior to zoom and school? also How much do you recommend in sending in the "before tax contriubitons" (% or $) and also the Roth section and has anyone done the Goal Maker option?  Thanks.  Will save my draft and finish it later

Your induction date/hire date is the Sunday's date prior to the zoom meeting. Weeks go Sunday thru Saturday. 401K is normally a percentage that you can update/change as you see fit. The goal maker option is what I have. Great choice for market fluctuations and risk management. Talk with the advisor and see what works for you. I signed up the day of my zoom call

Thank you. Another question regarding the health insurance enrollment form, should I email or fax it back to the bsc? and should i complete it asap? since it doesn't take in effect after 90 days.

Set the contributions to what works for you. Traditional 401/457 will have the money taken before taxes (and you will get taxed at withdrawal time) and Roth is the opposite. I do 5% and it comes out to about $3,500/yr. (At my pay rate)
