Disability Retirement

If you become ill or injured while an enlisted State Police member and you can no longer work, your retirement plan provides protection for you and your dependents.

You must be vested, meaning you have ten years of service, for a nonduty disability (an illness or injury incurred outside of work). If you have a duty disability (an illness or injury incurred while discharging your duties as a State Police member), a benefit could be payable starting the day you successfully complete recruit training regardless of how long you have been employed.

You cannot receive a disability pension if you qualify for a full retirement, meaning you have 25 years of service or more.
