§ 24107 Disability Retirement Option Election

• •If you retire early because you got hurt or sick at work, you can choose a different way to get your retirement money.
• •This choice lets you change how much money you get each month.
• •You can pick this option instead of the usual disability retirement pay.

A firefighter gets badly injured on the job and can't work anymore, so they retire early.

Instead of just getting the regular disability pay, they can pick a different plan that might give them more money now or later, depending on what they need.
