Staff proposes modifications to Regulations 5.13, Disability Payment for Duty-Incurred Injuries; 5.15, Moving Expenses; and 5.18, Complaints About Benefits:
 
  1. Updating outdated references to forms and processes in Regulation 5.13 to accurately reflect organizational and operational changes.

Individual appointing authorities are responsible for this review and approval.
