INTRODUCED Enrollment · 1 edit
MINOR
This bill adds a new eligibility restriction to the North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System, preventing members who have reached normal retirement age and qualify for full retirement benefits from applying for disability retirement. The change clarifies that individuals who are already eligible for unreduced retirement benefits cannot also pursue disability benefits, likely to prevent duplicate claims and streamline retirement processing.
Scope change
The bill's scope is narrowed to specifically exclude members who meet normal retirement age and unreduced benefit eligibility from disability retirement applications, whereas previously such members might have been able to apply for disability benefits.
ELIGIBILITY

Added a new provision to section 54-52-17 of the North Dakota Century Code that prohibits members who have reached normal retirement age or date and are eligible for unreduced retirement benefits from applying for disability retirement benefits.
