New Jersey A683 allows PERS members to receive accidental disability retirement for 9/11-related disabilities.
New Jersey A683 amends the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to allow any member to receive an accidental disability retirement allowance for disabilities resulting from participation in 9/11 World Trade Center rescue, recovery, or cleanup operations. The law presumes permanent and total disability from certain health conditions to have occurred during these operations if the member participated for at least eight hours. Members who did not participate for eight hours can still qualify under specific conditions.
