Your retirement should be by choice.
Not by chance.

At age 55, don’t you think someone is old enough to know whether they are ready to retire? Their boss shouldn’t be making the decision for them.

Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening to New York’s state employees.

The governor has proposed an early retirement incentive program, but it’s up to state managers to decide who’s eligible—not the employees. And it carries severe financial penalties for workers who may be offered the program, but who are under age 55 or who have less than 30 yrs of service.

There’s a better solution.

State legislators can pass the “25/55” bill—legislation that will give state employees the freedom to choose whether to retire, as long as they have at least 25 years of service and are age 55.

A decision as important as this should not be left up to the boss.

It’s time to give state employees a real early retirement option.
