San Bernardino County Employees' Retirement Association

Disability Service-Connected

The incapacity is a result of injury or disease arising out of and in the course of employment, the employment causation is "real and measurable" and the employment contributed substantially to the incapacity. For a service-connected disability, the monthly allowance is 50% of your final compensation earnable. For questions regarding taxation, you should consult with your tax advisor.

Even if you have been found eligible for Workers' Compensation, you still need to complete all applicable forms in the disability retirement packet. The SBCERA Disability Coordinator will request any claims and reports you have filed for Workers' Compensation. The Board is interested in reviewing any relevant evidence or reports, but it is not bound by any findings in a Workers' Compensation determination.
