§ 21413 Local Safety Disability Retirement

• •If a local safety worker (like a police officer or firefighter) gets hurt on the job and can't work anymore, they get money to help them live.
• •They get half of their last paycheck as help money.
• •If they also saved extra money in a special account, they get that too.
• •If they could have retired normally (like because they worked long enough), they might get more money if that normal retirement pay is bigger.

A firefighter gets badly hurt while putting out a fire and can't work anymore.

The firefighter will get half of their last paycheck every month to help them. If they also saved extra money in a special account, they get that too. If they worked long enough to retire normally, they might get even more money if that normal retirement pay is bigger.
