On March 31st CAS sponsored another well-attended and informative after school workshop focused on Financial Literacy and Retirement Planning at the Long Island Huntington Hilton Hotel in Melville. Andrew Buttelman, from the Legend Group, along with guest speaker David Daly provided over 40 CAS members present with important information about their New York State Teachers Retirement System (NYSTRS) pension benefits, long term financial planning and Social Security. David Daly was the New York Teachers Retirement system spokesperson and the Coordinator of Pre-Retirement Planning for many years and is a well-respected expert on the NYS pension system. Topics discussed included; choosing a retirement option; understanding your in-service death benefit, prior service and out of state service; unused sick days; employer sponsored non-elective and elective 403(B) plans; understanding all pension tiers and member benefit calculations. The program ran from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. with refreshments served and many members remaining afterwards to ask Andrew and David individual questions.
