Section 411-506-3 - REVIEWS FOR CONTINUING ELIGIBILITY1.Scheduling of reviews. A disability retiree may be reviewed for continuing eligibility for disability retirement benefits in the following circumstances:A. The retiree has not yet had a determination that they are unable to engage in any substantially gainful activity for which they are qualified by training, education or experience and at least two years have passed since the date of the determination that the retiree is eligible for disability retirement benefits; orB. Earnings or other information about a retiree's activities received by MainePERS show that the retiree may have capacity to engage in substantial gainful activity and at least one year has passed since any previous review.2.Cooperation with review. A retiree subject to review under subsection 1 must cooperate in providing information to MainePERS, including providing medical records and releases permitting health care providers to provide medical records. An unjustified failure to cooperate will result in the discontinuance of benefits. If the failure continues for one year, it will result in permanent cessation of benefits.3.Standard on review. The retiree's eligibility for retirement benefits continues if the retiree is unable to engage in any substantially gainful activity due to functional limitations caused by the mental or physical conditions that were the basis for the initial eligibility determination or by one or more new conditions that arose from the conditions that were the basis for the initial eligibility determination.4.Rebuttable presumption. A retiree is presumed to be no longer eligible for retirement benefits if the retiree has earned more than the substantially gainful activity amount in one or more years while receiving disability retirement benefits. This presumption may be rebutted by information showing that the standard in subsection 3 is met notwithstanding these earnings.5.Use of the medical review service provider and independent medical examinationsA. The Chief Executive Officer may determine that the retiree continues to be eligible without an IME and, if continuing eligibility is clear to a lay person, may determine that the retiree continues to be eligible without use of the medical review service provider.B. The Chief Executive Officer may not determine that the retiree is no longer eligible for retirement benefits without an IME unless the IME is waived by the retiree.C. IMEs under this Section are subject to the same reimbursement and waiver requirements as IMEs under Section 2. 94-411 C.M.R. ch. 506, § 3
