 Title 415. Retirement Systems, Department of
 Chapter 415-112. Teachers' retirement system.

  Section 415-112-482. Are disability insurance or workers' compensation payments earnable compensation?  

Latest version.
  • (1) Disability insurance payments are not earnable compensation, whether the payments come directly from the employer or from an insurance company.
    (2) Workers' compensation payments are not earnable compensation.
    Example:
    Susan, an employee on unpaid disability leave, submits her workers' compensation payments to her employer. The employer then issues Susan a check for the same amount through the payroll system. Even though the payment may have the appearance of compensation from the employer, it is not a payment for services provided and it is not earnable compensation.
