A. If the retirement system manager reasonably believes that the application filed pursuant to Section 2.124.1990 of this chapter is in any material respects incomplete or does not contain sufficient information to enable the manager to act upon the application, the manager shall neither approve nor disapprove the application but shall instead, not later than forty-five (45) days following receipt of the application, return it to the applicant specifying wherein it is incomplete or does not contain adequate information. The manager shall request that the application be resubmitted after being corrected by the applicant to include the missing or additional information. If the applicant should fail or refuse to resubmit the corrected application within ninety (90) days of the date when it is returned by the manager, the application shall be deemed to be withdrawn. If the applicant maintains that the application is complete and should not be deemed to be withdrawn, the applicant may appeal the manager's determination to the contrary pursuant to Article XIV of this chapter. Such an appeal shall be limited to the issue of the completeness of the application, and the ultimate issue of the applicant's or member's right to any retirement benefit shall not be considered. All information submitted shall be in writing and shall be maintained by the retirement system manager in his or her records.
B. If requested to do so by the retirement system manager, any member who has filed or on whose behalf an application for disability retirement has been filed shall forthwith provide the manager with a list of the names and addresses of all medical doctors, physicians, surgeons, chiropractors, osteopaths or other specified medical personnel which said member has consulted, or by whom such member has been seen, treated or diagnosed, and the names and addresses of all hospitals in which the member has been hospitalized. Upon request of the retirement system manager, said member shall also provide written authorization in a form provided by the manager for the release of all such hospital records and all medical records, including, but not limited to, medical reports, laboratory tests, x-rays, and doctor's notes and all hospital records, in the possession or under the control of the medical doctors, physicians, surgeons, chiropractors, osteopaths or other specified medical personnel referred to above. No application shall be complete if the information and releases referred to in this subsection have been requested by the manager, but not supplied by the member. (Prior code § 34.13.1302)
