24. How are disability retirement benefits calculated?
There are several steps to the calculation of a disability retirement benefit. The first step is the calculation of your “Statutory Benefit.” Your Statutory Benefit approximates what your normal retirement benefit would be if you had been able to work at your salary until you had either reached age 65 or, if earlier, completed thirty years of service.
For details about how your Statutory Benefit is calculated, please see the Summary Plan Description for your retirement plan. You can find it at Plan Information » Office of the State Comptroller » State of Connecticut.
