Upon total and permanent disability of a member as the result of any cause other
than occupational disability, if a member shall have rendered at least five (5) years
of total service, he shall be entitled to a disability retirement annuity. The amount of
such annuity shall be equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the average
salary, as defined in KRS 67A.360(13), for each full year of total service, subject to
a minimum payment of twenty-five percent (25%) of such average salary and a
maximum payment of seventy-five percent (75%) of average salary. Payment of this
annuity shall be made during disability of the member. After the member's death,
his eligible widow, if any, shall receive the benefits as provided in KRS 67A.492,
and his minor children, if any, shall receive benefits as provided under KRS
67A.450.
Any annuity for nonoccupational disability shall begin to accrue upon the expiration
of ninety (90) days following the commencement of disability provided that if the
member is receiving salary for sick leave for a period of more than ninety (90) days,
payment shall accrue from the date such salary ceases. If written application for
such annuity shall not have been filed with the board prior to the expiration of
ninety (90) days from date of disability, the annuity shall begin to accrue from the
date the application shall be filed but not prior to the expiration of ninety (90) days
from the date of disability, nor in any event prior to the time when salary payments
to the employee shall have ceased.
