Duty Disability Retirement

If your injury or disease was sustained while in the actual performance of duty in PERS-covered employment, you may apply for duty disability retirement regardless of your length of service. To qualify for a duty disability retirement, you must:

apply within five calendar years from the date you last worked for a PERS-covered employer;
have established membership as a Tier One or Tier Two member;
be totally, not partially, disabled; and
anticipate that you will be unable to perform any work for which you are qualified for a minimum of 90 consecutive days.
