The suspension of the $35,000 calendar year limit on NYS (New York State) public employment earnings for retirees under age 65 has been extended until June 30, 2024. It applies to working in a NYS public school district or BOCES only. Employment in a charter school, community college, SUNY or other public employer is not covered by this extension.

Remember there is no limit on all earnings for those age 65 and older, working in the private sector, out of state or for the Federal Government.

The original suspensions were enacted during the Covid-19 pandemic to address the shortage of educators in NYS public schools. If you are considering returning to work in the public sector or have specific questions about your employment and earnings in retirement you should contact NYSTRS directly at (800) 348-7298.
