Once each year following the retirement of a person on a disability retirement
allowance, or less frequently as determined by the board's medical examiner
but not less than once every five (5) years, the system may require the person,
prior to his normal retirement date, to undergo an employment and medical
staff review and, if necessary, be required to file at the retirement office on the
review form prescribed by the board current employment information and
current medical information for the bodily injury, mental illness, or disease for
which he receives a disability retirement allowance. The person shall have one
hundred eighty (180) days from the day the system mailed the review form to
the person's last address on file in the retirement office to file at the retirement
office the review form and the current employment and medical information.
The person shall certify to the retirement office that the review form, including
current employment and medical information, is ready to be evaluated by the
medical examiner in accordance with KRS 61.615.
If, after good faith efforts, the person informs the system that he has been
unable to obtain the employment or medical information, the system shall
assist the person in obtaining the records and may use the authority granted
pursuant to KRS 61.685(1) to obtain the records.
If the person fails or refuses to file at the retirement office the review form,
including the current employment and medical information, his retirement
allowance shall be discontinued or reduced on the first day of the month
following the expiration of the one hundred eighty (180) days from the day the
system mailed the review form to the person's last address on file in the
retirement office. The system shall send notice of the discontinuance or
reduction of the disability retirement allowance by United States first-class mail
to the person's last address on file in the retirement office. If the person's
benefits are discontinued or reduced under this section, his rights to further
disability retirement allowances shall cease, except as provided by KRS
61.615.
