If you become disabled and qualify for long-term disability benefits from the group insurance plan, you will continue to earn pension credits for as long as your long-term disability benefits are approved.
Your pensionable earnings at your date of disability are used to calculate the pension credit you earn while disabled, and may be increased by up to 3% in subsequent years at the discretion of the Pension Board.
You will not be required to make member contributions while you are receiving long-term disability benefits under the group insurance plan.
Come back soon for more information about approved leaves.
