Issue Whether Son of Sam Law Supersedes Retirement and Social Security Law Protection of Pension Benefits Not Preserved for Review​

This case was remitted to the Third Department after the Court of Appeals determined the issue whether the Son of Sam Law (allowing the victims of crimes to seek compensation from the perpetrator) superseded Retirement and Social Security Law 110, which protects pension payments from creditors, had not been preserved for review.  The Third Department made it clear that it believes the Son of Sam Law does supersede the Retirement and Social Security Law, but the court was prohibited from addressing the subject due to the procedural posture of the case.  Matter of NYS Office of Victim Services v Raucci, 513039, 3rd Dept, 5-2-13
