What disability retirement<br />

options are available to me?<br />

Maximum Single Life Annuity<br />

(MSLA) - You will receive the maximum<br />

monthly benefi t for as long as your disability<br />

benefi t continues to be granted.<br />

If you die, any remaining balance in the<br />

present value of your retirement benefi t<br />

will be paid to your benefi ciary(ies). Under<br />

this option, you may name more than<br />

one benefi ciary and you can change your<br />

benefi ciary(ies) at any time.<br />

Option 2 - You will receive a reduced<br />

monthly benefi t based on your age and<br />

gender and the age and gender of your<br />

survivor annuitant at the time of disability<br />

retirement. At the time of your death, your<br />

survivor will receive the same amount per<br />

month that you would have received if<br />

you had retired under a normal or early<br />

retirement benefi t. Under this option you<br />

may name only one survivor annuitant.<br />

Option 3 - You will receive a reduced<br />

monthly benefi t based on your age and<br />

gender and the age and gender of your<br />

survivor annuitant at the time of disability<br />

retirement. At the time of your death,<br />

your survivor will receive one-half of<br />

the amount per month that you would<br />

have received if you had retired under<br />

a normal or early retirement benefi t.<br />

Under this option, you may name only<br />

one survivor annuitant.<br />
