1. Removal for cause or total forfeiture of public service;

2. Settlement agreements reached due to pending administrative or criminal charges, unless the underlying charges relate to the disability;

3. Loss of licensure or certification required for the performance of the member's specific job duties;

4. Voluntary separation from service for reasons other than a disability; and

5. Irrevocable resignations.

(c) The Division will review all disability retirement applications submitted after a member has terminated service to determine whether the member's application is eligible for processing pursuant to (a) above.
