Okla. Admin. Code § 715:10-15-18

Current through Vol. 42, No. 7, December 16, 2024

Section 715:10-15-18 - Discontinuance of disability retirement

The Medical Board may require any member who has been retired under a disability, and who has not reached age sixty (60), to undergo a medical examination. Refusal to submit to the examination results in discontinuance of disability retirement benefits until such examination is completed. If the medical report from such examination leads to a recommendation by the Medical Board that a member's disability benefits should be terminated, that information will be provided to the member and the member will be advised of the right to appeal the recommendation. Disability benefits will continue to the member while the appeal process is before the Board of Trustees. Any member under age 62 receiving disability retirement benefits who returns to employment in any school or to a position similar to the position held when disability benefits were approved shall immediately be subject to discontinuance of benefits.

Amended at 13 Ok Reg 3899, eff 8-5-96 through 7-14-97 (emergency)¹; Amended at 14 Ok Reg 3216, eff 7-25-97; Amended at 20 Ok Reg 2596, eff 7-11-03

¹This emergency action expired before being superseded by a permanent action.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 7-15-97 (after the 7-14-97 expiration of the emergency action), the text of section 715:10-15-18 reverted back to the permanent text that was effective prior to the enactment of the emergency action on 8-5-96, as was last published in the 1996 Edition of the OAC, and remained as such until amended by permanent action on 7-25-97.
