§ 21404 Disability Retirement Benefits Eligibility

• •If you're a local government worker who can't work because of a disability, you can retire early.
• •You must be at least the minimum age to retire normally (without any penalty for being too young).
• •You'll get the same retirement money as if you retired normally, not less because of your disability.

A city bus driver hurts their back badly and can't drive anymore at age 55.

If 55 is the youngest age they could normally retire without losing money, they can retire now with disability and still get their full retirement pay.
