§ 32.124. ADMINISTRATION OF DISABILITY ANNUITY.  


Latest version.
  • (A) At least once every year during the first five years following the allowance of a disability annuity to any member, whether for occupational or nonoccupational causes, and at least once in every three-year period thereafter, the Board may require each disability annuitant to undergo a medical examination to be made in Louisville, or at any other place mutually agreed on, by a physician or physicians engaged by the Board. After the member has reached the 55th anniversary of his or her date of birth, the Board may waive further examination. If any examination indicates that the annuitant is no longer physically or mentally incapacitated for service in the Louisville/Jefferson County Police Department, payments of the disability annuity by the Fund shall be discontinued, and if the annuitant meets the civil service physical requirements he or she shall be immediately reemployed in the same or equivalent capacity in the Louisville/Jefferson County Police Department which he or she occupied prior to pension. Refusal of such reemployment shall immediately terminate all pension rights.
    (B) Should any disability annuitant refuse to submit to a medical examination as herein provided, payment by the fund shall be discontinued until his or her withdrawal of such refusal, and should such refusal continue for one year, all rights of the member in any disability annuity shall be revoked by the Board. On a finding by the Board that any disability annuitant has deliberately falsified information concerning his or her physical disability, all rights of the member in any disability annuity shall be revoked by the Board.
