5 U.S.C. § 8454 — Medical examination
submitted 40 years ago by Pub. L. 99-335 to r/title-5-GOVERNMENT-ORGANIZATION-AND-EMPLOYEES · 78 words · no verdicts yet
Someone getting a disability annuity must get a medical exam one year after retiring, and then every year until they turn 60. This does not apply if the disability is permanent. If they skip the exam, their annuity payments stop until they prove the disability is still there.
An annuitant* who receives a disability retirement annuity from the Fund* must be examined, as the Office* directs: (1) one year after the disability retirement began, and (2) every year after that until the annuitant turns 60. This does not apply if the disability is permanent.
If the annuitant skips a required exam, the Office suspends the annuity payments. Payments resume once the annuitant satisfactorily shows the disability is still continuing.
An annuitant* receiving a disability retirement annuity from the Fund* shall be examined under the direction of the Office*—
at the end of 1 year from the date of the disability retirement; and
annually thereafter until becoming 60 years of age;
unless the disability is permanent in character. If the annuitant fails to submit to examination as required by this section, payment of the annuity shall be suspended until continuance of the disability is satisfactorily established.
