§ 3.85.105. Temporary occupational disability—Plan III.

A.

Temporary occupational and non-occupational disability benefits, as approved by the disability committee, shall be granted in the same amounts as permanent disability benefits for an initial period not to exceed 90 days. The disability committee, upon subsequent written request of the applicant and upon consideration of medical and other evidence satisfactory to the disability committee, may extend such benefits for additional periods of up to 90 days, subject to periodic review by the disability committee. A member who is otherwise eligible to receive a temporary occupational or non-occupational disability benefit shall not receive such benefit if the medical authority returns the member to light duty.

B.

A retired member shall not be eligible to receive benefits under this section if the disability occurs after the date on which employment terminates.
