New York S03557 provides a heart disease presumption for correction officers, correction supervisors, deputy sheriff patrol, and deputy sheriff.

New York S03557 amends the retirement and social security law to allow correction officers, correction supervisors, deputy sheriff patrol, and deputy sheriff patrol supervisors to receive accidental disability benefits if they are impaired due to heart disease. This presumption applies if the impairment occurs while they are employed, unless proven otherwise. The bill adds sections 63-j and 605-h to the retirement and social security law, ensuring these public safety workers can claim benefits related to heart disease as job-related injuries.
