Latest version.
  • Upon retirement for disability resulting from injury or illness not incurred in the performance of duty, a member shall receive a disability retirement allowance of 1-½ percentum of the member's final compensation, multiplied by the number of years of service credited to the member if such allowance exceeds ¼ of the member's final compensation; otherwise, 1-½ percentum of the member's final compensation, multiplied by the number of years which would be creditable to the member were the member's service to continue until the member's attainment of the age of 55 years, but such allowance shall not exceed ¼ of the member's final compensation. If such member might otherwise elect to retire for service at a greater retirement allowance pursuant to the provisions hereof, he shall elect either the higher service retirement allowance or the disability retirement. Such election shall be irrevocable by the member thereafter.
