Members who have been awarded disability pensions and have not reached their retirement age are required to provide ERSRI with periodic medical updates and earnings information. Each year, ERSRI sends out a Annual Continuing Statement which asks members receiving a disability pension to provide a copy of their tax returns (if filing) and updated medical information.
Failure to provide ERSRI with earnings information may result in the suspension of pension benefits. Members who do not provide updated medical information may be assigned to an independent medical examination or ultimately have their pension benefits revoked.
A member’s disability pension benefit will be adjusted if the statutory earning limit has been exceeded.
Members who have recovered or appear to have recovered from their disability will be assigned to an Independent Medical Evaluation (IME). Members who are no longer disabled will be placed on a list with their former employer to return to work.
Members will receive notification prior to adjustment, suspension, or revocation of their disability pension benefits.
