Note: On July 7, 2008, Governor Paterson signed legislation that amended Section 242 of the New York State Military Law by adding a new subdivision 5-a, titled the Public Servant Soldier Salary Act.  The EMBP was accordingly modified. The Extended Military Benefits Program (EMBP) was created to ease, as much as reasonably possible, any financial disruption for City of New York employees and their families which may be caused by long-term military duty connected with the events of September 11, 2001.  Employee FAQs List of Agency Military Liaisons (PDF) Program Terms and Forms (in PDF) Terms of the EMBP Commissioner Hirst’s Letter to Reservists and National Guard Members (July 24, 2008) Enrollment Form (DP-2520) Declination Form (DP-2531) Program Legislation (in PDF) Chapter 238 of 2008 Chapter 240 of 2008 (Amendment)
