Section 10:69-8.1 - Retirement, Survivors and Disability Insurance

(a) Retirement, Survivors and Disability Insurance (RSDI) is a Federal program administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) which provides protection to workers and their families against loss or stoppage of earnings resulting from retirement at age 62 or older, death and disability. The possibility of entitlement to Social Security benefits shall be explored with every applicant and beneficiary.

(b) Substantially all workers and self-employed persons, including military servicemen, are protected by Social Security coverage or are under another governmental retirement system (Civil Service or Railroad Retirement).

(c) Since Social Security benefits are an available resource, a beneficiary or applicant who has potential eligibility for such benefits, even at a "reduced" rate, shall apply for them.
