August 28, 2025

Attention NYCDCC Members and Retirees:

Recently, the Fund Office has received a number of phone calls concerning rumors that have been circulating regarding potential changes to the NYCDCC Pension Fund’s Age 55 Early Retirement Provision and related Welfare Fund coverage. As a result, we would like to take a moment to put your minds at ease and definitively address these rumors. Please read the following carefully:

-There are NO plans, nor have there been ANY discussions between the Board of Trustees to change the early retirement age from the current age of 55.

-There are NO plans, nor have there been ANY discussions between the Board of Trustees to CHANGE, REDUCE, or ELIMINATE, retiree Welfare Fund coverage.

-The Board of Trustees will ALWAYS function with the best interests of the members in mind and will continue to look for opportunities to IMPROVE NYCDCC benefits.

To learn more information regarding these rumors and other topics related to the NYCDCC’s Pension and Welfare benefits, we encourage you to attend the virtual meeting being held by Executive Secretary Treasurer (EST), Paul Capurso, on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 5PM.
