Removes eligibility or receipt of primary social security disability benefits as a condition for ordinary disability retirement for certain members.

This proposed legislation modifies Ordinary Disability Retirement (ODR) eligibility for Tier 3 members of FIRE by removing the requirement of being eligible for primary Social Security disability benefits (SSDI). The formula for calculating Enhanced Plan ODR benefits would remain unchanged. The Medical Board would be responsible for determining the eligibility for ODR benefits in place of the SSDI requirement.
