    5  who because of such illness did not apply to such retirement system  for
    6  disability  retirement  benefits  until May 19, 2011, shall be deemed to

         FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
         This bill concerns Domingo Cabrera, a vested member of  the  New  York
       State Teachers' Retirement System who ceased his employment as a teacher
       with  the  Mamaroneck  Union  Free  School  District  on January 2, 2009
       because of mental illness, and did not apply for  disability  retirement
       benefits  until  May  19, 2011, after the 12 month deadline to apply for
       disability had lapsed. He shall be deemed to have applied for disability
       retirement benefits within 30 days of ceasing his employment on  January
       2,  2009.  As  a  vested  member  Mr.  Cabrera is eligible for a service
       retirement benefit commencing at age 55.

       of liabilities, which is estimated to be $117,000. This cost is  contin-
       gent  upon  the approval of Domingo Cabrera's application for disability
       retirement by the Medical Board of the New York State Teachers'  Retire-
       ment System.
