§ 21259 Disability And Service Retirement

• •If you worked enough years and meet the rules, you can get retirement money.
• •If you get hurt or sick and can't work anymore, you can still get retirement money if you qualify.
• •Once you qualify, no one can take away your retirement money.

A firefighter works for 25 years and then gets badly hurt on the job.

Even though the firefighter can't work anymore, they still get their retirement money because they worked long enough and got hurt on the job.
