Bill Summary
For legislation to allow Wayne Estes, a retired member of the Massachusetts DDS, an accidental disability retirement option, reports the accompanying bill (Senate, No. 2690).
AI Summary
This bill allows Wayne Estes, a retired member of the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS), to receive accidental disability retirement benefits due to severe physical and psychological harm accompanied by post-traumatic stress disorder. The State Retirement Board must pay Estes these benefits retroactively to the effective date of the act, and Estes must notify the Board of his decision to accept the option within 90 days. The payments are subject to a medical panel certification that Estes is permanently incapacitated, but the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission can waive this requirement if Estes is already receiving a disability benefit.
