We have been informed by the carrier that the backpay due to all members of SMART has been delayed until a tentative date of April 13, 2023. This is due to recoupment issues concerning the overpayment of thousands of members during the reconciliation period. The carrier will be subtracting any overpayment from the retro pay.

There will be a “recoupment amount” listed on the check dated 12/29/22 for all affected members. Anyone who feels the amount is wrong may request an itemized breakdown of the dates of over-payment.

If you wish to receive this breakdown, send an email to cmomanagers@lirr.org.

You must put in the subject line of the email, your name, IBM, and BSC number.

Members sending this request will receive an email response containing a PDF file of the breakdown.

Sincerely,

The Committee
