At the January 2016 SDCERS meeting, the Board of Administration shortened the time period for an inactive or retired member to apply for a disability retirement from three years of discontinuance of active service or retirement, to two years. However, any member that is already inactive or retired as of January 8, 2016 will still have three years to apply. Please review Board Rule 7.30 for important details (www.sdcers.org under the Resources tab, Board Rules and Policies).
