Ohio Admin. Code 742-3-17 - Withdrawal of application for service retirement or disability benefits
(A) For a member of
Ohio police and fire pension fund ("OP& F") who wishes to withdraw an
application for service retirement or disability benefits, the provisions of
paragraph B or C
(B) or (C) of this rule shall govern, depending on
which paragraph applies to the particular situation. For pending disability
benefit applications, the withdrawal of the application is also governed by
paragraph (C)(6) of rule
742-3-05 of the Administrative
Code.
(B) In cases where OP& F
has not issued a warrant for the payment of the benefit or made a payment of
the benefit through direct deposit, the member can withdraw the application for
service retirement or disability benefits by filing a written statement
authorizing OP& F to withdraw the application.
(C) In cases where OP& F has already
issued a warrant for the payment of the benefit, whether on an interim or final
payment basis, whichever is the first to occur, the member shall return the
first warrant and any subsequent warrants uncashed to OP& F. For benefit
payments made through direct deposit, OP& F must be able to reverse the
electronic funds transfer from the member's financial institution. The member
shall also file with OP& F a written statement authorizing OP& F to
withdraw the application for benefits and revoke any direct deposit
authorization. The member's written statement, uncashed warrants, and return of
payments made through direct deposit shall be received by OP& F no later
than thirty days after the date on which the first warrant was sent to the
member or deposited into the member's account by OP& F.
(D) For a member of OP& F who fails to
withdraw the application for service retirement or disability benefits in
accordance with paragraph (B) or (C) of this rule, such person will be deemed
to have accepted the benefit and no withdrawal will be permitted. In the case
of disability benefit recipients, they will be prohibited from applying for any
new, changed, or different benefit, except as expressly provided for in
division (D) (5) of section
742.38 of the Revised
Code.
