Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that "substantial evidence" under Retirement and Social Security Law § 803 includes a petitioner’s own assertions of never being informed of TRS membership, affirmed retroactive membership for three petitioners, reversed the denial for three others as arbitrary and capricious, and upheld the denial for the Kingston teachers as rational.
