Bertha Bueno v. Board of Trustees, Teacher’s Pension and Annuity Fund, Division of Pensions and Benefits

A-0916-07T2
12-11-08

Where an applicant for public-employee ordinary disability retirement benefits is only disabled from performing the duties of her assigned public-employee position but the employer has no other work available for her in the general area of her ordinary employment, then the applicant must prove that she is disabled from performing duties in the general area of her ordinary employment for other employers and may even be required to prove that she is disabled from performing substantially different duties for other employers or is generally unemployable in order to qualify for ordinary disability retirement benefits.
