Title
Application for Disability Retirement Clayton O’Neal (B)
This item requests approval of the Disability Retirement application of former Master Fleet Technician Clayton O’Neal.
Explanation
A meeting of the Disability Review Committee was conducted on August 11, 2020 to review the application for disability retirement of former Master Fleet Technician Clayton O’Neal. His relevant medical information was reviewed by the Plan’s third party administrator and they determined that Mr. O’Neal is unable to perform the job duties as a Master Fleet Technician 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 his physician and the approval of disability from the Social Security Administration, it is the recommendation of the Disability Review Committee that the Board of Trustees of the Plan approves the application.
Fiscal Note
Mr. O’Neal’s out-of-line-of duty pension benefit is $944.77 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. Since Mr. O’Neal is receiving Social Security Disability, those offsets will be taken from the monthly benefit reducing the benefit to $324.27 per month. If Mr. O’Neal is to receive any future collateral employer provided benefit income, those offsets will be taken from the monthly benefit reducing the benefit.
Recommendation
The Board of Trustees of the City of Gainesville Employee’s Pension Plan approve the disability retirement of Clayton O’Neal retro-active to June 1, 2020.
