RETIREMENT OF JESSE MYERS FOR DISABILITY

(23) A request from Mr. Jesse Myers, plumber in the Physical Plant Department, that he be retired for physical disability effective July 22, 1942. The Director of the Physical Plant Department recommends approval. Mr. Myers was born November 9, 1879, and has been employed permanently and continuously since March 5, 1908. He has been granted the maximum disability leave of absence with full pay, to which he is entitled under the regulations of the Board, and this leave expired July 22. His disability occurred prior to March I, 1942, and he may therefore be retired for disability under the old retirement system. The disability retiring allowance will amount to $814 a year. Mr. Myers has been a participant in the University Retirement System of Illinois since September 1, 1941, and therefore he retains his rights in the system as to death benefits or retirement for causes other than disability. A deduction of 33^2 per cent will be made from his disability allowance and should other benefits become payable they will be paid by the University Retirement System. I recommend approval of this request. O n motion of M r . Wieland, this recommendation was approved.
