Disability Retirement Information
You may apply for disability retirement if you become physically or mentally incapable of performing the regular duties of your job and your disability is likely to be permanent. You must have at least five years of credited service toward retirement unless your disability is the result of an injury arising out of and in the course of the performance of your job duties.
Becoming disabled does not automatically qualify you for disability retirement; you must file an application and go through the review process. The Retirement Systems must receive your disability retirement application within 90 days of the date of your termination from covered employment.
