Disability Retirement

The Commonwealth provides "Retiree Insurance” benefits for Active Participants who become disabled: “Disability Retirement”. This section describes the eligibility requirements and benefits payable under Disability Retirement.

Disability Retirement benefits include discounted health care premiums, group life insurance, and dental coverage. Your share of the premiums for these benefits is deducted from your disability Monthly Income Benefit.

While the Group Insurance Commission administers these insurance programs, the ORP Plan Administrator coordinates the deduction of your monthly premiums from your disability income and their remittance to the Commission on your behalf.

 

Please note: As of March 10, 2008, the office of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education
was renamed the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education. The name change will be integrated into
prior existing website content gradually over the next few months.
