Disability Guide Division A

If you decide you want to connect that prior service at the time of your disability pension, you will need to make arrangements to pay back any pension contributions (plus interest) that you might have received when you quit Metro or any contributions owed for the time being connected. [...] The amount you are able to earn is based upon the difference between your salary at the time of your disability and the gross amount of your disability pension. [...] If you are receiving Social Security benefits from the Social Security Administration, you will need to notify them once your condition improves and you are attempting to return to work. [...] If you are offered a position and you decline, your disability pension will be terminated and you will not receive credited service for the period of time on disability. [...] Waiver of Premium If you are disabled according to the insurance company’s standards (not Metro’s) and are under the age of 60, you may apply for a Waiver of Premium for the basic life insurance benefit and the same amount of supplemental life insurance you last had while actively employed.
