A 533 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to article 78 judgments regarding disability pension determinations

This bill changes how courts handle appeals of denied disability pensions. If a court finds a state pension system's denial was arbitrary or not supported by evidence, it can directly grant the pension instead of just overturning the denial. It applies to people appealing disability pension denials through Article 78 proceedings. The law ensures courts can provide the actual pension relief requested when the denial is unjust, rather than sending cases back for further review. This affects individuals seeking disability pensions who have had their claims rejected by state systems.
