Financial Solutions and Services We Provide New York State Police Officers and State Troopers
Strategies to Maximize Your New York State Pensions
Your vision is to Serve, Protect and Defend the People While Preserving the Rights and Dignity of All. Your work is important but inherently dangerous. For this, the terms of your NYS Pension are extra special. Often in their 40’s many of our NYS Troopers and Investigators find themselves faced with one of the biggest financial decisions they will ever make. To retire or not to retire? Which pension option should I take? Will this be enough to supplement my “second” career? Do I even want to continue to work at all? How will I continue to provide for and protect my family if something should happen to me earlier than expected? We know you and have the greatest respect for you. We can help serve you the way you serve all of us on a daily basis!
Provide Education on How to Utilize the Financial Options Available to Law Enforcement
There are a number of financial tools that are limited because of the danger of your occupation. In our experience many NYS Troopers, and Law Enforcement Professionals overestimate the value of their benefits should a health crisis impact them early in their career. They also often overestimate the value of their pension should they die before they sign their retirement paperwork. Let us educate you on how to protect yourself from the unexpected and leverage the benefits you do have.
Deferred Compensation Education to Create an Optimized Plan
You are part of the NYS Deferred Compensation Plan. This comes with some opportunities and challenges. We can help educate you on some of the features and benefits within your plan.
