PERAC Memo #47 - 2007: 2007 Disability Data
2007 Disability Data
View original on MA State Library →Summary
This memo requests that boards review and update PERAC's disability retiree database for 2007, reflecting status changes such as death, nursing home confinement, waived allowances, return to active status, or address changes. Boards must also complete the "New Member Data" form for all new accidental/ordinary disability retirees approved in 2007 and return all updates to PERAC by January 16, 2008, to ensure database accuracy before the annual 91A statements are mailed. Note that failure to report status changes is now more critical since noncompliance results in termination (rather than mere suspension) of a member's allowance.

MEMORANDUM #47, 2007 M E M O R A N D U M TO: All Retirement Boards FROM: Frank E. Valeri, Deputy Director RE: 2007 Disability Data DATE: December 19, 2007 In order to maintain an accurate and current disability retiree database, we request that you review the attached list and make all necessary status changes that occurred in the year 2007. These changes should be made when a member is deceased, confined to a nursing home, has waived his/her allowance, has returned to active status, or has had a change of address. Please be reminded that, as a result of a change in the law that now terminates a member’s allowance rather than suspends it for non-compliance, the importance of keeping PERAC apprised of any status changes is even greater. Also, please fill out the enclosed “New Member Data” form in its entirety for all new retirees approved by your board for an accidental or ordinary disability in 2007. If any member is missing from your enclosed list, please include their information on the New Member Data form. You should make additional copies of the blank form if needed. It is imperative that all information be returned to PERAC no later than January 16, 2008, to ensure accuracy in our member database, prior to our mailing of the 2007 Annual Statements of Earned Income (91A). Thank you for your continued cooperation in this matter.
