DISABILITY EFFECTIVE DATE POLICY

BOARD APPROVED MARCH 9, 2016

Effective upon Board Approval

Effective March 9, 2016, a member who has been approved for a disability allowance by the Board’s Medical Review Committee may return to work, prior to the commencement of the disability allowance, for a period of time not to exceed three credited months of service.  If he or she finds they are unable to remain on the job due to their disability, they may complete the Disability Allowance Effective Date Election Form to activate their disability allowance.

In the event the member returns to work in excess of three months and finds they are unable to continue, they will need to reapply for the disability allowance, inclusive of updated medical reports from their physician(s) which will be reviewed by the Medical Review Committee for a new recommendation.
