§ 53:5a-10.
a. A member who was denied an accidental disability retirement allowance between January
1, 2012 and December 31, 2019 solely on the basis that the Board of Trustees determined
that the member had a preexisting and asymptomatic condition may apply to the Board
of Trustees for reconsideration. Applications for reconsideration pursuant to this section shall be filed within
30 days of the effective date of P.L.2022, c. 77 ( C.53:5A-10.2 et al.) 1 and such applications shall not be subject to the five-year filing period so long
as the initial application for an accidental disability retirement was timely filed. b. Upon approval of an application for reconsideration, the member shall prospectively
receive the benefit payments of an accidental disability retirement allowance. The benefit payments shall apply only for payments made after approval of an application
for reconsideration by the Board of Trustees pursuant to this section. No member shall be granted a retroactive payment based upon the difference between
the benefit the person would have received if an accidental disability retirement
allowance were granted at the time of the member's initial application and the benefit
that the member has received from that date to the approval of the application for
reconsideration. 1
