Section 715:10-15-16 - Review by Medical Board

Upon receipt of the application for disability retirement, the TRS Medical Board will review the application at its next monthly meeting. The Medical Board may recommend a member for permanent disability retirement or for a temporary disability retirement when in its opinion the prognosis of the disability is of a temporary nature. Temporary disability retirement benefits may be provided for six (6) to twelve (12) months, subject to re-examination by the Medical Board at the end of the prescribed period. If a member is granted temporary disability the member may apply for permanent disability, or reapply for temporary disability, only within one (1) month of the expiration of the temporary disability. The member will be notified in writing of the recommendation of the Medical Board. If disability benefits are not recommended by the Medical Board, the reason will be provided to the member in writing . The member may then submit additional medical evidence for further review or request an administrative hearing pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act, 75 O.S. Section 250 et seq., and OAC 715:1-1-10 (with the exception of subparagraphs 1 and 2) within sixty (60) days of notification of the Medical Board's adverse recommendation.

1This emergency action expired before being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency amendatory action, the last prior permanent text is reinstated. Therefore, on 7-15-94 (after the 7-14-94 expiration of the emergency action), the text of section 715:10-15-16 reverted back to the permanent text that was effective prior to enactment of the emergency action on 9-17-93, and remained as such until amended by permanent action on 7-25-94.
