DUTY DISABILITY INCOME VERIFICATION
POLICY - JULY 20, 2004
Since the City of Lansing's Duty Disability Pension is limited by the amount of money earned by
the retiree, the Retirement Ordinance allows the City of request and review the retiree's income
on an annual basis.
The following; is the policy regarding this verification:
1. Each December, all Duty Disability Retirees will be notified that they must provide
documentation of any income earned during that year by supplying a copy of their Federal tax
return to the City of Lansing's Retirement Office.
2. This response must be filed to the Ret;lrcment Office by April 30th.
3. Retirees not responding to the request will be sent a second letter detailing a new due date of
an additional 30 days and indicating failure to respond will result in the discontinuance of their
pension payments. This letter will be sent certified to his/her home.
4. if the Retiree does not respond to this request, the Retirement office will notify the Pension
Board and recommend that the Retiree's pension payment be discontinued until he/she provides
the necessary information.
