§ 21420 Industrial Disability Retirement Annuity

Key Takeaways

  • •If you get hurt or sick at work and have to retire, you get money for that.
  • •If you worked other jobs before and paid into retirement for those, you get extra money from those payments too.
  • •The extra money comes from what you already paid in, not from your boss or the government.

Example

A firefighter gets hurt on the job and can't work anymore, so they retire. Before being a firefighter, they were a teacher and paid into a teacher retirement plan.

The firefighter gets their regular retirement money for getting hurt at work. Plus, they get extra money from what they paid into the teacher retirement plan while they were teaching.
