Tier 6 Reduced Contribution Rates- DO NOT APPLY TO YOU!
Governor Hochul, gave Tier 6 Transit workers the Shiv, as a majority of Transit workers are excluded from the reduced contribution rates that will take effect on or about October 1, 2026. The changes that were agreed to by Governor Hochul in regards to the pension contributions are not for operating employees. Operating employees are the mass majority of all Transit workers in the MTA.
Governor Hochul, took care of the left wing Mamdani loving Teachers union by giving them reduced contribution rates, an earlier retirement age and an increase in overtime allowable in your FAS.
Transit workers got and increase in overtime allowable in the FAS. The reduced contribution rates only apply to non operating workers, which we have but that is not the majority.
