Fireman Disability Time Not Counted For Pension Credit
The Texas Attorney General ruled that disability time cannot count toward the 20 years of service needed for retirement at age 55 under the state firemen's pension law. The opinion, sent to Firemen's Pension Commissioner G. F. Williams, concerns a firefighter who was disabled for about four years and then returned to duty. It does not state that a long inactive period or disability benefits void future retirement eligibility.
