The Government of the State of New York, headquartered at the New York State Capitol in Albany, New York, encompasses the administrative structure of the U.S. state of New York, as established by the New York State Constitution.

Analogously to the United States federal government, it is composed of three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial.

The head of the executive is the Governor, the Legislature consists of the Senate and the Assembly, and the Unified Court System consists of the Court of Appeals and lower courts.

The state is also divided into counties, cities, towns, and villages, which are all municipal corporations with their own government.

A pension is a fund into which a sum of money is added during an employee's employment years, and from which payments are drawn to support the person's retirement from work in the form of periodic payments.

A pension may be a "defined benefit plan" where a fixed sum is paid regularly to a person, or a "defined contribution plan" under which a fixed sum is invested and then becomes available at retirement age.

Pensions should not be confused with severance pay; the former is usually paid in regular installments for life after retirement, while the latter is typically paid as a fixed amount after involuntary termination of employment prior to retirement.

Disability is an impairment that may be cognitive, developmental, intellectual, mental, physical, sensory, or some combination of these.

A pension fund, also known as a superannuation fund in some countries, is any plan, fund, or scheme which provides retirement income.
