61.610 Employment and medical review after disability retirement -- Filing of review forms -- Duty of system to assist in obtaining records. (1) Once each year following the retirement of a person on a disability retirement allowance, or less frequently as determined by the board's medical examiner but not
less than once every five (5) years, the system may require the person, prior to his
normal retirement date, to undergo an employment and medical staff review and, if
necessary, be required to file at the retirement office on the review form prescribed
by the board current employment information and current medical information for
the bodily injury, mental illness, or disease for which he receives a disability
retirement allowance. The person shall have one hundred eighty (180) days from the
day the system mailed the review form to the person's last address on file in the
retirement office to file at the retirement office the review form and the current
employment and medical information. The person shall certify to the retirement
office that the review form, including current employment and medical information,
is ready to be evaluated by the medical examiner in accordance with KRS 61.615. (2) If, after good faith efforts, the person informs the system that he has been unable to obtain the employment or medical information, the system shall assist the person in
obtaining the records and may use the authority granted pursuant to KRS 61.685(1)
to obtain the records. (3) If the person fails or refuses to file at the retirement office the review form, including the current employment and medical information, his retirement
allowance shall be discontinued or reduced on the first day of the month following
the expiration of the one hundred eighty (180) days from the day the system mailed
the review form to the person's last address on file in the retirement office. The
system shall send notice of the discontinuance or reduction of the disability
retirement allowance by United States first-class mail to the person's last address on
file in the retirement office. If the person's benefits are discontinued or reduced
under this section, his rights to further disability retirement allowances shall cease,
except as provided by KRS 61.615. Effective: July 13, 2004
