Firefighters employed by the Nassau County BOCC will automatically be enrolled in the Special Risk Class with the FRS. In creating this class, the Legislature recognized that Special Risk Class positions are physically demanding and require extraordinary agility and mental acuity. The Legislature has recognized that, due to the physical and mental limitations of age, Special Risk Class members should be eligible to retire earlier than regular members. To that end, the Legislature enacted an earlier retirement age requirement for these members and credited their service at a higher rate than regular members earn so they could retire with benefits roughly equivalent to benefits of regular members who could be expected to work longer.
