2 AAC 36.023 - Application for disability benefits
(a) The
administrator shall determine eligibility for disability benefits under
AS
14.25.130 or
AS
14.25.485. The administrator may require the
member to provide additional information and to submit to an examination by one
or more physicians of the administrator's choosing at the division's
expense.
(b) A member may apply to
the administrator for a determination of eligibility for disability benefits
before employment is terminated. A determination by the administrator finding
disability is void if the member fails to terminate employment within 30 days
of the date of the determination.
(c) When a determination is made under this
section before termination, notice of the determination will be mailed to the
member's employer.
(d) A member who
fails to file an application for disability benefits within the time
established by
AS
14.25.130 or
AS
14.25.485 forfeits the right to apply, unless
the member demonstrates to the administrator that there are extraordinary
circumstances that prevented the person from meeting the deadline.
Extraordinary circumstances may include being adjudged as incompetent or
confined to a hospital, but do not include lack of information or mere
neglect.
