Life After Retirement

Silver Stars Program

Silver Stars is a new program designed for retired New York City employees. The program creates opportunities for City retirees to work part-time while collecting their city pension.

Retirees help City agencies meet business needs by working on project-based assignments and support organizational growth by sharing their knowledge and experience with newer employees - without the demands of traditional, full-time employment.

Eligibility

1. Fully retired from City employment.
2. Receiving a pension from a city retirement system.
3. Have no remaining sick or vacation balance.
4. A resident of New York City (unless the job posting specifies otherwise)

Duration of Placements

Silver Stars placements are temporary, project-based positions that are typically limited to a year. The length of the placement is determined by the agency's business needs.

Compensation

Individual agencies determine salary. Review the job posting for additional information.

Impact on Pension Benefits

Interested applicants should contact BERS to verify that participation in the Silver Stars Program will not affect their pension benefits.
