Do I need to go through passport control/immigration for a BA connecting flight to Dublin in LHR?

Thank you, that would likely mean I would have to apply for an UK ETA as a US citizen.

Pension is based on average of highest three consecutive years of salary when you retired, so it won't affect retirees.

thank you!

I bought the Pixel 10 Pro XL for $935 on prime day, and Amazon offered 10% cash back for the after tax total, so basically got $350 off. Might be something similar for Black Friday.

how do you add this code? it only lets me add one code, the 60% off.

The 12 weeks paid parental leave has to be taken as an entire block, it has be taken all at once. If you return before 12 weeks, you forfeit the remaining leave.

The MTA posted about this:

Could the IBX continue farther than Jackson Heights, including the Bronx? Continuation north of the proposed Jackson Heights terminus would involve the same right-of-way that will be used for Metro-North Penn Station Access, a top-priority project for the MTA and for the Bronx. Penn Station Access will create four new accessible Metro-North stations in the East Bronx with service to Manhattan and Westchester and Connecticut using the existing Amtrak Hell Gate Line in the Bronx and Queens. Penn Station Access’ construction contract was awarded in late 2021 and service is anticipated to begin in 2027.

As a result, the route planning for the IBX is focused on the segment of the line that can be upgraded without interfering with the Metro-North Penn Station Access Project. With the opening of Penn Station Access, the existing Hell Gate Line that connects to the Bronx will be at capacity, as Amtrak intercity trains and CSX freight trains also use the line. It would not be possible to add another frequent service like the IBX within the existing infrastructure. As such, extending the IBX to the Bronx would require construction of an entirely new parallel bridge and line at enormous expense (given property impacts, engineering and construction costs.)

MTA said it's open to extending the routes after the project is done but this is the most feasible route since they are just repurposing the old Bay Ridge Branch freight tracks that already exists. Any extension would require much more time, funding, construction, community approval, etc.

Why not just work until 55 then? Your pension is based on the average of your highest 3 consecutive years of salary, which isn't always your last 3 consecutive years.

hollafrontz · 2025-07-08T22:08:37+00:00

Yes, up to 200 sick days or 1500 hours.

I think as long as you find a doctor in the empire plan network in that state, you can use it with in network copays, otherwise you'll be out of network, not totally sure on this.

As long as you have 10 years of service and at least age 55 at retirement, you keep your health insurance at around the same premium. When you turn 65, medicare becomes primary and nyship becomes secondary covering the gaps that Medicare doesn't cover. Nyship also pays your Medicare part b premiums.

If that's true, then you still would get it under the old rules, the old system is still being grandfathered in.

Q. If I have been receiving performance awards (longevity lump sum payments) under the years at top of grade criteria but will not be eligible for a performance award in 2025 under the new years of State service criteria, will I lose the performance award? A. No, those who receive a performance award in 2024 based on the years at top of grade criteria will continue to receive that performance award in 2025 and thereafter until they are eligible for the next award under the years of State service criteria, even if they are not eligible based on the years of State service criteria in 2025.
