§ 23401 Disability Retirement Medical Review

Key Takeaways

  • •If you retired early (before 1972) because you were hurt or sick, the board can ask you to take a medical check-up before you turn 58.
  • •If the check-up shows you're no longer sick or hurt, they can stop your retirement money.
  • •If you refuse to take the check-up, they can stop your retirement money and take away your rights to it.

Example

John retired in 1970 at age 50 because he had a bad back and couldn't work. Now, he's 55 and the board asks him to see a doctor.

If the doctor says John's back is fine now, the board can stop giving him retirement money. If John says no to the doctor visit, they can stop his money too.

§ 23401 Disability Retirement Medical Review

The board may require any member who retired for disability, prior to July 1, 1972, and who has not attained 58 years of age, to undergo a medical examination. If the examination, together with other available information, shows to the satisfaction of the board that the member is no longer disabled, the retirement allowance shall be terminated. Should any member retired for disability refuse to submit to medical examination, as provided in this section, the disability retirement allowance shall be terminated and all rights of the member in the disability retirement allowance shall be revoked. (Amended by Stats. 1996, Ch. 634, Sec. 185. Effective January 1, 1997.)
