Returning to Work
Salary Supplement Program
Metro's salary supplement program is designed to help disability pensioners return to active employment at their previous rate of pay, though not necessarily in the same job.
If you are eligible for disability benefits and return to work earning less than you were before, you will be paid a salary supplement to make up the difference. You will continue to receive a salary supplement until your pay in the new job equals your pay before disability.
For example, if your salary were $36,000 before your disability began and $30,000 after you returned to work, Metro's benefit program would pay you a salary supplement of $6,000.
As your salary increases, the salary supplement is reduced. For example, if your salary increases by $2,000 to $32,000, your salary supplement drops to $4,000.
