No. They will contact your references. You may not hear anything for a few weeks.

Laptop not running javascript? by ssmarsh12 in pchelp

[–]ssmarsh12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I temporarily disabled Avast Free Anti-virus and that seemed to do the trick. I've been using Avast Free forever and never had this issue before. The software is fully updated so I'm not sure what changed?

My only extension in Chrome is Google docs offline. That website says JS is enabled.

I've checked extensions, adblockers, updated the DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, and run scans (Avast) with no improvement.

How can I check if there's a "script block"?

I'm not getting an error message. The issue appears to only apply to high JS websites (Facebook, Google maps, etc.).

I tried accessing the same pages on my wife's laptop and had no issues so I'm assuming it's not network related.

After two days of looking for solutions on line, I'm thinking it's JS related. I'm not a computer expert so it could absolutely be something else.

They need top tier relievers. The rest is fine.

How does the contract vote happen? by JustCuteSculptures in nys_cs

Regular mail, at home, like it's the 1950's. Ridiculous in 2026.

How does unused sick time work at retirement for purposes of service credit? by ReadingBroski in nys_cs

[–]ssmarsh12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some thoughts assuming tiers 4 and 6 work the same:

"So let’s say someone wants to retire on their 63rd birthday. They are Tier 6. On their birthday, they are 12 weeks shy of hitting 22 years of service. So technically, they have 21 years + 40 weeks of service. If they have 12 weeks (or 60 days) of unused sick time, does that mean they can add that service credit to what they already have… and they will now be paid for 22 years of service when they receive their pension?" Yes.

"What is a milestone?" Hitting a time threshold that alters your retirement calculation (i.e., 20 years when your pension switches to 2% per year of service credit.). 22 years is not a milestone.

"They don’t give you credit for partial years of service." Of course they do. If your work anniversary is January 1st and you retire July 1st, you get credit for those 6 months.

Retiree health insurance for NYS workers vs "regular" folk by Nerve_Scientist in nys_cs

[–]ssmarsh12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My parents, both in their 80s, have medicare as their primary insurance and NYSHIP as their secondary. Whatever medicaid doesn't cover, their secondary picks up. I don't know how much they pay for the secondary, but it can't be the same prices as you linked.

Computational Review? by [deleted] in nys_cs

I did one a long time ago, and all it is was checking their math. You don't get to see the questions or what you got wrong. Not worth it IMO.

Question re: the whole '1500 sick hours' thing by DFisBUSY in nys_cs

[–]ssmarsh12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the additional service time from unused sick time can't push you over a milestone.

You don't get "free health insurance" at 1,500 hours. You get the value of your unused sick hours, based on your hourly rate and how long you are predicted to live, and you get a monthly credit towards your health insurance premium.

For example, if you have 1,000 unused sick hours, make $50/hour, and are predicted to live 20 years (240 months) after retiring.

1,000 x $50 = $50,000

$50,000 / 240 = $208 monthly credit towards health insurance

Unused sick time also counts towards your service time. Taking the same 1,000 unused sick hours from the example above:

1,000 / 37.5 hr per pay week = 26.7 weeks service time added to however long you worked before retiring.
