Are there any circumstances under which retirement benefits may be suspended or terminated?

• Incarceration
  Payments to an accidental or ordinary disability retiree who is incarcerated for a felony committed on or after July 1, 1996 will cease for the period of the retiree’s incarceration.
  
  
• Annual Statement of Earned Income
  Disabled retirees who fail to comply with reporting requirements about earned income may also be subject to termination of benefits for the period of non-compliance. In accordance with section 91A of Chapter 32, if a disabled retiree fails to submit an Annual Statement of Earned Income Form, and the tax forms required by PERAC, and does not show good cause for this failure, the retiree’s rights to a disability retirement allowance will cease until the retiree has complied with the reporting requirement. Prior to any termination of benefits, a disabled retiree must be given notice and an opportunity to be heard by his/her retirement board.
