The non-service-connected disability retirement pension for a safety member shall be such an amount as with that portion of his annuity provided by his accumulated normal contributions, will make his disability retirement allowance equal:

(a) Ninety percent of one-fiftieth of his final compensation multiplied by the number of years of service credited to him, if (1) the member must rely upon service in another retirement system in order to be eligible to retire or (2) such disability retirement allowance exceeds one-third of his final compensation.

Terms Used In California Government Code 31727.2

  • Annuity: A periodic (usually annual) payment of a fixed sum of money for either the life of the recipient or for a fixed number of years. A series of payments under a contract from an insurance company, a trust company, or an individual. Annuity payments are made at regular intervals over a period of more than one full year.

(b) If the member is eligible to retire without relying upon service in another retirement system, and the disability retirement allowance computed under (a) does not exceed one-third of his final compensation, 90 percent of one-fiftieth of his final compensation multiplied by the number of years of service which would be creditable to him were his service to continue until attainment by him of age 55, but in such case the retirement allowance shall not exceed one-third of his final compensation.
