Maine LD2145 modifies disability retirement benefits to base calculations on average final compensation instead of average annual earnings.

Maine LD2145 amends the calculation of disability retirement benefits to use average final compensation rather than average annual earnings. It also removes the requirement to offset benefits for Social Security benefits received for the same disability for applications submitted before October 1, 1989. The bill adjusts the cap on total combined benefits for disability retirement and workers' compensation, and it updates language to conform with modern drafting standards.
