Part 8 - Disability and Survivor Benefits
§ 31-31-805. Change in Disability Status - Reexamination

(2.5) When a member on temporary occupational disability satisfies the age and service requirements for a normal retirement, including the time the member was on temporary occupational disability, a transfer shall be made from the statewide death and disability plan to the member's normal retirement plan in the amount of the monthly employer and employee contributions being made to the member's pension plan at the time of disability but not more than sixteen percent of the monthly base salary that the member was being paid at the time of disability retirement, multiplied by the number of months the member received temporary occupational disability benefits. A member of a statewide or local retirement plan that has a mandatory contribution rate in excess of sixteen percent shall have the difference between the amount transferred and the amount that would have been contributed at the excess rate made up by an additional contribution from the employer. The member shall then be granted a normal retirement under the member's normal retirement plan and the temporary occupational disability benefits under the statewide death and disability plan shall terminate.
