How much will my nonoccupational disability benefit be?
Your nonoccupational disability benefit equals 50% of your salary or average final compensation, whichever is higher, on the date you are removed from the payroll. Q: If I pay into Social Security and am over 65, is my SERS nonoccupational disability benefit reduced by the amount payable from Social Security. A: If you are over age 65, your SERS benefit will be reduced by the amount of pension you are eligible to receive from the SSA. Example: If your SERS nonoccupational disability benefit is $1000 monthly, you are eligible for a Social Security benefit of $600 monthly. Your net SERS benefit is $400 monthly.
