Or. Admin. Code § 459-075-0200 - Retirement Eligibility for Police Officer and Firefighter Members
(1) For purposes of
this rule:
(a) "Police officer" and
"firefighter" have the same meaning given them in ORS
238A.005.
(b) "Concurrently employed" means employment
with two or more participating employers in the same calendar month.
(2) An OPSRP Pension Program
member will establish retirement eligibility as a police officer or
firefighter, if the member's last 60 months of retirement credit preceding the
date the member reaches early retirement age under ORS
238A.160(2), or
normal retirement age under ORS
238A.165(2),
were accrued while employed in a qualifying position as a police officer or
firefighter.
(3) The 60 months of
police officer & firefighter retirement credit does not have to be
continuous, but a member does not establish retirement eligibility as a police
officer or firefighter under section (2) of this rule if the member's last 60
months of retirement credit preceding the date the member reaches early or
normal retirement age includes any months of retirement credit as other than a
police officer or firefighter.
(4)
If the member is concurrently employed as a police officer or firefighter, the
60-month retirement credit count described in section (2) of this rule restarts
if the member accrues retirement credit for service as other than a police
officer or firefighter, unless the member is receiving insurance payments for
short-term or long-term disability for which retirement credit is not available
under ORS 238A.155; and concurrently
employed and performing service as other than a police officer or firefighter,
accruing retirement credit as other than a police officer or
firefighter.
(5) A member who is
receiving disability insurance payments as described in section (4) of this
rule must submit proof of such payments in a format and manner approved by
PERS, no later than the member's effective date of retirement.
