Benefit Eligibility and Calculation
Several factors, such as your retirement plan, membership tier, and final average salary, determine the total amount of benefits you will be eligible to receive. Depending on your age and the nature of your disability, we may recommend applying for multiple types of disability benefits. If your application is approved, you will have the option to select one or more benefit options.
All the benefits offered by the Retirement System provide a lifetime monthly payment. Employees have the choice of receiving the maximum monthly payment or selecting a smaller amount. Additionally, they have the option to designate a beneficiary to continue receiving payments upon their death.
In some cases, individuals may be eligible for additional programs, while others may need to apply for workers’ compensation benefits. Regardless of your specific circumstances, our disability retirement attorney will thoroughly evaluate all your options and determine the most appropriate course of action for your unique case.
