Bill Summary
Relative to the reexamination of members retired for disability. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends a section of Massachusetts state law related to disability retirees and their potential restoration to service. The key provisions are:
1) Allowing disability retirees to request evaluation for a specific identified position, in addition to their former position, during the regular review process to determine if they can return to active service. If found able to perform the essential duties of the identified position, they can return to that position.
2) Specifying that if a disability retiree returns to service in a different retirement system than the one they retired from, the original retirement system will provide creditable service for the period of their prior disability, and will also be assessed a portion of any future disability pension if the member is subsequently retired again due to the original injury.
