§ 23701 Disability Death Benefit Election

• •People had a specific time (from October 16, 1992, to April 13, 1993) to choose their disability and death benefits.
• •The choice they made during that time started working from October 16, 1992, even if they picked it later.
• •If someone got hurt or died after making their choice, their benefits would be based on what they picked, as if they chose it on the first day (October 16, 1992).

A person picks a disability benefit plan on March 1, 1993, and then gets injured in a car crash on June 1, 1993.

Their benefits will be paid based on the plan they chose, and it will count as if they had that plan since October 16, 1992.
