On June 18, 2025 in a unanimous decision, the NYS Court of Appeals rejected the municipal retirees’ claim that Traditional Medicare was promised by The City of New York to retirees. This ruling does not mean there will be an immediate change in retiree health care insurance or if any change will be made.

It is suggested members review responses to the MEA questionnaire that was sent to mayoral candidates for the primary election. It is also suggested that members review which mayor candidates pledged to preserve Traditional Medicare for retirees if elected. The pledge and a mayoral debate were conducted by the NYC Organization of Public Service Retirees in an effort to evaluate the candidates.
