Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 11, § 204. School Employees' Retirement System

Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. A member who acquires a disability, and who files for disability benefits while in service, and who upon medical examination and certification, as provided for elsewhere in this Subpart, is found to have a total disability for any cause, shall be entitled to disability benefits under the provisions of R.S. 11:1147(C), provided that the disability was incurred while the member was an active contributing member in active service. However, if the application for disability benefits is not filed while the member is in state service, it shall be presumed that the disability was not incurred while the member was an active contributing member in active service. Such presumption may be overcome only by clear, competent, and convincing evidence that the disability was incurred while the member was an active contributing member in active service.

B. (1) A person whose system membership began on or before June 30, 2006, applying for a disability benefit shall have five years of actual credited service in order to qualify for a disability benefit. Such member shall not use credit earned while receiving workers' compensation in order to meet the minimum five-year eligibility requirement; however, any member receiving workers' compensation prior to January 1, 1991, shall be allowed to use credit earned while receiving workers' compensation to meet the minimum five-year eligibility requirement.

(2) A person whose system membership began on or after July 1, 2006, applying for a disability benefit shall have ten years of actual credited service in order to qualify for a disability benefit. Such member shall not use credit earned while receiving workers' compensation in order to meet the minimum ten-year eligibility requirement.
