New Jersey § 43:8a-9

§ 43:8a-9.

(1) Upon the written application of a member or of his employer any member may be

retired by the board of trustees, not less than thirty nor more than ninety days next

following the date of filing such application, on an accidental disability retirement

allowance; provided, that the medical board, after a medical examination of such

member, shall certify that the natural and proximate cause of such disability was

an accident met in the actual performance of duty within two years preceding the date

of such application and that such disability was not the result of the member's willful

negligence and that such member is mentally or physically incapacitated for performance

of his usual duty and of any other available duty in the Division of Alcoholic Beverage

Control which his employer is willing to assign to him, and that such incapacity is

likely to be permanent and to such an extent that such member should be retired. (2) Upon retirement for accidental disability, a member shall receive an accidental

disability retirement allowance which shall consist of: (a) An annuity which shall be the actuarial equivalent of the member's aggregate contributions

at retirement; and (b) A pension equal to one-half of the member's average final compensation. (3) Upon the receipt of proper proofs of the death of a member who has retired on

an accidental disability retirement allowance, there shall be paid to such person,

if living, as he shall have nominated by written designation duly executed and filed

with the board of trustees, otherwise to the executor or administrator of the member's

estate, the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00).
