§ 24117 Disability Retirement Termination

• •If you're getting disability retirement money, you can ask to stop it anytime by writing to the system.
• •If the board decides you're no longer disabled, they can stop your disability retirement money.
• •You don't get to keep the money if you're not disabled anymore.

A firefighter gets hurt on the job and starts getting disability retirement money. After a year, the doctor says the firefighter is all better and can go back to work.

The board will check and see that the firefighter is no longer disabled. They will stop sending the disability retirement money because the firefighter is healthy again.
