Re: FICA Line of Duty Injury Reimbursement
Update
We are informed by the City’s Office of Labor
Relations that letters regarding reimbursements for FICA taxes
paid for periods of authorized Line of Duty injury leave for six
(6) months or less pursuant to the City’s settlement with
the IRS covering years 1989 through 2005, are being sent to all
affected members on February 5, 2007. (See sample
letter).
Each affected individual will receive a statement of wages received
as well as taxes paid, a sample copy of which is also posted herewith. In
addition, a consent form will be included which must be signed
and returned to the Office of Payroll Administration (“OPA”)
in the pre-addressed envelope included in the mailing by April
5, 2007.
Detailed information regarding this matter is still available
on the OPA website
http://www.nyc.gov/html/opa/html/home/home.shtml . Members
with questions can also call the OPA at (212) 669-2333.
Fraternally,
