Louisiana HB19 amends the District Attorneys' Retirement System by changing how disability benefits are certified and awarded.
Louisiana HB19 modifies the District Attorneys' Retirement System by altering the process for certifying and awarding disability benefits. The bill specifies that the board of trustees will now determine disability certification through a physician designated by the board, rather than the State Medical Disability Board. It retains the requirement for members to have 10 years of service credit and be actively contributing at the time of disability. The bill repeals previous law that presumed a disability was not incurred in service if an application was not filed while in active service.
