Ordinary Disability. If an employee has been employed by the Township for at least fifteen (15) years (without any credit for prior service), and that employee retires on an Ordinary Disability retirement under terms of the Police and Firemen's Retirement System, that employee may apply to the Township Council for continuation of health insurance benefits as provided under the terms of Article X . If such an application is made, the Council shall request a report from the Township Manager on the circumstances of the accident or disability that led to the employee's disability retirement, on the employee's work history and performance evaluations, on the terns of the employee's service to the Township, on the projected cost of providing the benefit, and such factors as the Council or the Manager may deem appropriate to an evaluation of the request. The Council may, at its sole discretion, decide whether the benefit shall be extended, and the decision of the Council shall not be grieved by the employee or the Association.

A participant who has not reached his/her normal retirement and who has completed at least ten (10) years of service with the police department of the Town and who has become disabled by any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to be either of indefinite duration or result in death, which disability is not incurred in the performance of his/her duties for the police department, and which renders the participant unfit for duty as a police officer, may be retired on a disability pension.
Ordinary Disability. In the event that an employee is injured off the job and is eligible to receive an ordinary disability retirement, the employee will receive fifty percent (50%) of the participant’s average monthly rate of earnings over any two (2) consecutive years which produces the highest average monthly rate, until such time as the participant reaches his/her normal retirement date (completion of twenty (20) years of service.)

Ordinary Disability. In the event that an employee is injured off the job and is eligible to receive an ordinary disability retirement, the employee will receive fifty percent (50%) of the participant’s average monthly rate of earnings over any three (3) consecutive years which produces the highest average monthly rate, until such time as the participant reaches his/her normal retirement date (completion of twenty (20) years of service.) The ordinary disability retirement will convert to a normal retirement at the normal retirement date and the participant would then begin taking distributions exclusively from the 401(a) Plan. The employee will be considered one hundred percent (100%) vested in the 401(a) Plan, regardless of years of service. For the purposes of this section “annual earnings” shall include base salary and longevity. The retiree is obligated to provide evidence of the continuation of disability status as requested by the Personnel Board. Failure to comply with such request by the Personnel Board will result in termination of disability benefits. For example, at the time of ordinary disability retirement, the employee’s highest average annual earnings (salary and longevity) based upon any two (2) consecutive years of earnings, are $48,000. The annual pension amount is $24,000 and the monthly pension amount is $2,000. The retiree would receive $2,000 per month from the disability pension plan, until such time as the participant reaches his/her normal retirement date. The retiree would then begin taking distributions exclusively from the 401(a) Plan.
