Section 13-691. Supplemental retirement allowances for certain closed pension funds retirees and other retirees

a.  A  supplemental  retirement  allowance determined pursuant to this section shall be payable:
    (1) to closed pension fund disability retirees who  retired  prior  to
  April first, nineteen hundred seventy, commencing with a payment for the
  month  of  July, nineteen hundred eighty-one, and continuing thereafter;
  and
    (2) to closed pension fund other-than-disability retirees  who  retire
  prior  to  April  first,  nineteen  hundred  seventy,  commencing with a
  payment for the later of the month of July, nineteen hundred  eighty-one
  or  the month of July next following the twelve-month period ending June
  thirtieth in which such retiree shall have attained  age  sixty-two  and
  continuing thereafter.
    b.  Such  supplemental  retirement  allowance for those closed pension
  fund disability retirees and closed pension  fund  other-than-disability
  retirees   who   retired   prior  to  January  first,  nineteen  hundred
  sixty-eight shall include an amount computed  by  multiplying  the  base
  amount  by  a  percentage  determined on the basis of the consumer price
  index (all items--United States city average) published  by  the  United
  States bureau of labor statistics.
    c.  (1)  The  percentage  referred to in subdivision b of this section
  shall be  determined  as  the  ratio  of  two  indexes,  in  the  manner
  prescribed in this subdivision c.
    (2)  The  average  of the twelve monthly consumer price indexes of the
  calendar year nineteen hundred sixty-nine  divided  by  the  average  of
  twelve   monthly   consumer  price  indexes  of  the  calendar  year  of
  retirement, shall be the ratio of the indexes.
    (3) Such ratio, minus one, shall be  expressed  as  a  percentage  and
  shall be adjusted to the lower one-tenth of one percentum. Such adjusted
  percentage  shall  be the percentage of the base amount which is payable
  as a supplement included  in  a  supplemental  retirement  allowance  as
  provided  for  in  subdivision  b  of  this  section.  However,  no such
  supplement shall be paid  where  such  percentage  is  less  than  three
  percentum.  Such  percentage  for  a person who retired prior to October
  first, nineteen hundred fifty-seven shall be increased  by  one  hundred
  percentum  thereof and the adjusted percentage shall be further adjusted
  to the lower one-tenth  of  one  percentum.  Such  percentage  shall  be
  computed  by  the actuary and certified to the comptroller who shall, by
  directive, promulgate a schedule of percentages by year of retirement to
  be used for this purpose.
    d. (1) Commencing with a payment  for  the  month  of  July,  nineteen
  hundred eighty-one and continuing thereafter, there shall be payable:
    (a)  to  each  closed  pension  fund other-than-disability retiree who
  retired prior to January first, nineteen hundred sixty-eight and who  is
  eligible  to  receive  a  supplemental  retirement  allowance  under the
  provisions of subdivision a of this section; and
    (b) to each closed pension fund disability retiree who  retired  prior
  to   January   first,   nineteen  hundred  sixty-eight:  a  supplemental
  retirement allowance which shall consist of the sum of: (i)  the  amount
  determined for such retiree pursuant to the provisions of subdivisions b
  and c of this section; and
    (ii)  the  product  obtained  by  multiplying the base amount for such
  retiree by  the  percentage  thereof  applicable  to  such  retiree,  as
  determined by the year of retirement in accordance with the schedule set
  forth in paragraph two of this subdivision d.
