The employee shall, as a condition of receiving benefits under this Article, execute an assignment of the proceeds of any judgment or settlement in any third party action arising from such injury, in an amount equal to the pay received pursuant to this Article and to medical disbursements, if any, made by the Board but not to exceed the amount of such proceeds. Such assignment shall be in a form prescribed by the Office of Legal Services. The injured employee shall undergo such medical examinations as are requested by the Workmen's Compensation Division of the Law Department and the Board of Education, and when found fit for duty by the Worker's Compensation Board shall return to his/her employment. Benefits provided under this Article shall be in addition to but not concurrent with benefits provided under Section 5.41 of the Rules and Regulations for Administrative Employees (in effect as of July 1, 1967).
