Michigan § 400.102 - Nonduty disability retirement allowance or death benefits; eligibility, conditions.

Whenever the combined state and city or the combined state and county service of an employee covered by section 100 of this act shall equal or exceed the minimum years of service required by the several units of government under their respective system to be eligible for nonduty disability retirement allowance or benefit, or, for the dependents of such an employee to be eligible for benefits in the event of the nonduty death of such an employee, the state and the city or the county, shall grant such disability or death allowance or benefit upon the following conditions:

That the employee has not withdrawn his accumulated contributions from the retirement system of the city or the county.

That the years of service with the granting unit of government only be used for computing the amount of the retirement allowance or benefit.

That the average final compensation earned from the state, county or city, shall be used for determining the amount of the allowance or grant unless otherwise provided in the charter of any other city affected by this act.

If any retirement system does not provide for a nonduty disability retirement allowance or benefit or for nonduty death benefit, then neither the employee nor his dependents shall receive such allowance or benefit from such retirement system nor shall an employee or his dependents receive any retirement allowance or benefit from more than 1 retirement system covering the same service credit period. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any city or county that does not have a retirement system.
