Each year PSERS sends an Annual<br />
Earnings of a <strong>Disability</strong> Annuitant letter<br />
to each retiree under normal retirement<br />
age receiving a disability retirement<br />
benefi t. The purpose of this letter is to<br />
determine whether or not you are working<br />
in another job, and if so, whether you<br />
are exceeding the amount you may earn<br />
per year without having to return money<br />
to PSERS.<br />
