§ 32.19 DISABILITY RETIREMENT - CONTINUATION SUBJECT TO RE-EXAMINATION; RETURN TO EMPLOYMENT.
   (A)   The Board of Trustees may require a disability retirant to undergo periodic medical examination by or under the direction of the Medical Director if the disability retirant has not attained the following applicable age:
      (1)   Benefit group general. Age 60 years.
      (2)   If a disability retirant refuses to submit to a medical examination, payment of the disability pension may be suspended by the Board of Trustees until withdrawal of the refusal. Should refusal continue for 1 year all the disability retirant's rights in and to a disability pension may be revoked by the Board of Trustees. A disability retirant shall be restored to active employment with the city and the disability pension discontinued if following a medical examination the Medical Director certifies that the disability retirant is mentally and physically able and capable of resuming employment with the city, and the Board of Trustees concurs in the certification of the Medical Director. The city shall be allowed reasonable latitude in placing the returned disability retirant in a position commensurate with the position held at time of disability retirement.
   (B)   A disability retirant who has been restored to employment with the city as provided in division (A) shall again become a member of the retirement system. The disability retirant's credited service at time of retirement shall be restored to full force. Service shall be credited for the period the disability retirant was being paid a disability pension if within the period the disability retirant was paid worker's compensation on account of the same disability which caused retirement; otherwise credited service shall not be given for the period of disability retirement.
