§ 24007 Disability Allowance Calculation Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If you get hurt and can't work, and you're between 45 and 60 years old, you can get money based on how long you worked.
  • •You get 5% of your final pay for each year you worked in California.
  • •You get the smaller amount between this calculation and another rule (Section 24006).
  • •This rule doesn’t apply if you qualify for disability under a different part of the law (Section 24001(c)).

Example

A 50-year-old teacher gets hurt and can't work anymore. They worked for 20 years in California.

They would get 5% of their final pay for each year they worked (20 years x 5% = 100% of their final pay). But if another rule says they get less, they’ll get the smaller amount.
