§ 396g. Suspension of disability pensions; examinations

(a) System pensioners who have retired due to disability shall stop receiving the pension as soon as the disability ceases or upon resuming their Government service.

(b) Any person receiving a disability pension who works on a non—governmental job and receives a monthly compensation of more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) shall also cease to receive said pension.

(c) System pensioners who have retired due to disability under the provisions of this or any prior retirement act shall be periodically examined by a physician appointed by the System. If such disability ceased to exist, the pension shall continue to be paid for six (6) months from the date of the medical examination declaring the pensioner able to return to work.

(d) When a pensioner who has retired due to disability refuses to be medically examined as ordered by the System, after having been summoned therefor on three (3) different occasions at intervals of not more than one month, it shall be deemed that such pensioner is relinquishing his/her pension and the payment thereof shall cease at the end of the month of the last requirement.
