Whereas, active PEF members are removed from the membership rolls due to a leave without pay, and

Whereas, those PEF members become regular members (fee payers); ineligible for PEF benefits, and

Whereas, the reasons for leave without pay are often very distracting to members, and

Whereas, returning members may not re-enroll as active PEF members; thereby remaining ineligible for PEF benefits, and

Whereas, divisions are not reimbursed for regular members (fee payers), and

Whereas, divisions do not receive notification of fee payer status for as long as 90 days,

Therefore be it resolved, that NYS PEF shall provide all divisions with a monthly list of regular members (fee payers)

Financial impact: Estimated at $1,000 per year for mailing notification to all divisions on a monthly basis. Minimum - $0 if all divisions are e-mailed notification on a monthly basis.
