ARTICLE IX. - SUPPLEMENTAL DISABILITY RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE
(GENERAL MEMBERS ONLY)
- If at the time of retirement for disability, the Board finds the member is unable to be gainfully employed, the member shall sign a declaration stating that the member understands that supplemental disability retirement allowance will continue only so long as the member is incapable of gainful employment; that the member is under obligation to inform the Board immediately if engaged in any gainful employment; that the member shall be under obligation to refund to the Association any supplemental disability retirement allowance improperly received as a result of failure to notify the Board of gainful employment; and that the member shall be required to execute a declaration each six months in order to continue to qualify for supplemental disability retirement allowance, except that no declaration will be required of those retired members who reach full retirement age as defined by the Social Security Administration. "Gainful employment" is defined as the performance of any service for compensation with the exception of service as a juror or witness in a court proceeding, or service as an election official.
- The Board may require a recipient of supplemental disability retirement allowance to undergo periodic medical examination. The examination shall be made by a physician determined by the Board. Upon the basis of the examination the Board shall determine whether the member remains incapable of gainful employment. If the member refuses to submit to medical examination, the supplemental disability retirement allowance shall be discontinued until the member undergoes such examination.
