(1) becomes ill or injured; and
(2) is unable to perform at an acceptable level of competence the duties and responsibilities of the position to which the employee is assigned.
(b) Application by Chief Administrative Officer. If the employee does not apply for disability benefits, the Chief Administrative Officer may apply on behalf of the employee.
