Disability evaluation can be a challenge for state and municipal retirement system administrators who are responsible for disability awards that have credibility with disability benefit applicants, their employers and the public. To ensure an accurate and comprehensive medical review and recommendation, the retirement system should have access to medical experts experienced in evaluating disability claims.
Most organizations do not have the capacity to employ onsite medical experts, but they can receive clinical assistance from UMass Chan Medical School’s Disability Evaluation Services.
