Probably not.  There is a forfeiture provision relating to the New York State and Local Retirement Systems.  It relates to members convicted of a felony related to their public service.  However, it applies only to those who joined the New York State and Local Retirement Systems after November 13, 2011. Cuomo would have been a member long before that.

Thank you, excellent!  And leave it to the lead author of Governmental Plans Answer Book to have the answer.
