HR and Benefits: Active Employee Handbook

Annual Disability Report

Throughout your disability period you will be required to submit a written report at least once a year, and in some cases more frequently. (A report form, which you must complete and return, will be mailed to you for this purpose.) The report must indicate:

  • whether you have applied and been approved for Social Security benefits (if you have been rejected, a copy of the letter denying benefits must be included)
  • the amount of your Social Security benefits
  • the amount of your outside earnings (from an employer other than Metro) while disabled
  • the status of your dependent child(ren)

The Benefit Board may or may not consider your receipt of Social Security benefits as proof of your disability.
