Bill > SB2119

This bill modifies the North Dakota Century Code regarding disability retirement benefits by adding a restriction that prevents members who have already reached their normal retirement age or normal retirement date and are eligible for unreduced retirement benefits from applying for a disability retirement benefit. In practical terms, this means that state employees who have reached a point in their career where they can receive full retirement benefits will no longer be able to simultaneously claim disability retirement benefits. The bill aims to clarify and potentially limit the circumstances under which retirement-eligible employees can seek disability retirement, likely to prevent potential abuse of the system or unnecessary duplication of retirement benefits. The provision appears to be a technical adjustment to existing retirement benefit rules, ensuring that employees cannot claim both standard retirement and disability retirement benefits simultaneously once they have reached their standard retirement milestone.
