Retirement due to Disability. A teacher who becomes disabled may qualify for retirement benefits due to a disability. For full information the Human Resources Department should be contacted. If the teacher has used all of the sick days and no longer qualifies for the sick leave bonus as described in Article IX, L, 4, the Human Resources Department may be petitioned for the sick leave bonus.
Retirement due to Disability. An employee who has completed fifteen years of recognized service and who becomes wholly and permanently disabled before his Normal Retirement Date may be granted a disability pension at a reduced rate calculated on an actuarially equivalent basis, if they have not reached 55 years of age. If the employee has completed 15 years of recognized service and has attained the age of 55, the pension will represent full benefits earned to the retirement date with no actuarial reduction. The pension supplement is not payable to employees retiring due to disability unless they have 15 years of service and have reached the age of fifty-five (55) at the time of disability retirement.
