12CTRB DISABILITY REVIEW PROCESS
Our Medical Review Committee (panel of licensed private doctors) reviews the medical evidence and required
statements. They forward a recommendation to the Teachers’ Retirement Board. The Committee meets on the
first Tuesday of every month (excluding August). All items to be reviewed must be received by this office no
later than the 18
th
of the month prior to the meeting date. When the 18
th
of the month falls on a weekend or
th
State holiday, the deadline becomes the first business day following the 18
. After the MRC meeting, you will
receive written notification of the results of the meeting, and if approved, an Effective Date Election Form for
your immediate completion.
The disability income will cease when the disability ends. The Board may call upon the member to submit
periodic medical reports, and determine that a member’s disability has ended if it finds that the member has
failed to pursue an appropriate program of treatment.
Disability benefits will be calculated at 2% of your final salary base (average of highest three paid salaries) times
the years of full-time credited service, subject to a maximum benefit of 50% of final average salary, and
minimum benefit of 15% of final average salary (for 7.5 or fewer years of service). Additional Service Credit
purchased within five years of the effective date of disability is excluded.
OFFSETS AGAINST INCOME WHILE COLLECTING A DISABILITY ALLOWANCE
During the first twenty-four months, twenty percent of any earned income or wages shall be subtracted from the
disability allowance payable unless the Board determines that such earned income is being paid as part of the
rehabilitation of the member.
After the first twenty-four months, your disability allowance and your earned income can equal the “final average
salary” we used to compute your disability allowance. All earnings in excess of this amount are subtracted from
your disability allowance.
A dollar for dollar offset will apply if the total of the disability allowance, less cost of living adjustments plus any
initial award of social security benefits or worker’s compensation, exceeds seventy-five percent of the member’s
final average salary.
TWENTY FOUR MONTHS LATER
After twenty four months of disability allowance payments you will be required to submit new medical documentation.
To be eligible for a continued disability allowance, additional medical documentation must be provided to substantiate
that you do not have the ability to engage in any substantial gainful activity.
CONVERSION OF BENEFIT
Service credit will accrue to a maximum of 30 years while receiving disability allowance. Upon the attainment of
age 60 (or older) with a minimum of 20 years of CT credited service (including accrued service), the disability
allowance will be converted to a normal retirement benefit. You will be required to select a payment plan and
your converted benefit will include any cost of living adjustments accrued while on disability.
