Application for Disability Retirement Tracy T. Alexander (B)
This item request approval of the Disability Retirement application of Transit Operator for Regional Transit System (RTS)
Explanation
A meeting of the Disability Review Committee was conducted on Monday, August 9, 2021 to review the application for disability retirement of Transit Operator. Her relevant medical information was reviewed by the Plan’s independent medical reviewer and he determined that Ms. Alexander is unable to perform the job duties as a Transit Operator for the City of Gainesville. This is the standard for approving a disability retirement under the General Employee’s Pension Plan. In reviewing the application and supporting information from her physician, it is the recommendation of the Disability Review Committee that the Board of Trustees of the Plan approves the application.
Fiscal Note
Ms. Alexander’s out-of-line-of duty pension benefit is $988.09/month before Social Security offsets and will be paid out of the City of Gainesville Employee’s Pension Plan. The benefit is gross of any offsets associated with collateral income as required by the Plan. If Ms. Alexander should receive collateral employer provided benefit income, those offsets will be taken from the monthly benefit.
Recommendation
The Board of Trustees of the City of Gainesville Employee’s Pension Plan approve the disability retirement of Tracy T. Alexander retroactive to April 1, 2021.
