A participant in DROP is ineligible for on-duty occupational disability benefits. In the case of on-duty death or on-duty general disability of a participant with a DROP account, the death benefit (100%) or disability benefit (75%) will be calculated as though the participant had not entered the DROP and will be paid to the eligible survivor(s) (in case of on-duty death) or participant (in the case of on-duty general disability). In addition, the DROP account that had accumulated to date will be available to the eligible survivor(s) (on-duty death) or participant (on-duty general disability).
