67A.470 Total and permanent disability not occasioned by duties of member -- Benefits. (1) Upon total and permanent disability of a member as the result of any cause other than occupational disability, if a member shall have rendered at least five (5) years <br>of total service, he shall be entitled to a disability retirement annuity. The amount of <br>such annuity shall be equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the average <br>salary, as defined in KRS 67A.360(13), for each full year of total service, subject to <br>a minimum payment of twenty-five percent (25%) of such average salary and a <br>maximum payment of seventy-five percent (75%) of average salary. Payment of this <br>annuity shall be made during disability of the member. After the member's death, <br>his eligible widow, if any, shall receive the benefits as provided in KRS 67A.492, <br>and his minor children, if any, shall receive benefits as provided under KRS <br>67A.450. (2) Any annuity for nonoccupational disability shall begin to accrue upon the expiration of ninety (90) days following the commencement of disability provided that if the <br>member is receiving salary for sick leave for a period of more than ninety (90) days, <br>payment shall accrue from the date such salary ceases. If written application for <br>such annuity shall not have been filed with the board prior to the expiration of <br>ninety (90) days from date of disability, the annuity shall begin to accrue from the <br>date the application shall be filed but not prior to the expiration of ninety (90) days <br>from the date of disability, nor in any event prior to the time when salary payments <br>to the employee shall have ceased.
