  • CalPERS Industrial Disability Retirements (IDRs) granted to qualified safety-class members can be very costly to a municipality, as well as CalPERS. Claims examiners who handle workers’ compensation claims for safety officers need to be intimately familiar with the requirements of an IDR when a safety officer suffers a serious injury that may render him or her unable to return to regular duty. In such cases, the defense of the workers’ compensation case must be handled with an eye toward the defense of the potential IDR.  On 3/30/17, CalPERS issued Circular Letter 200-018-17, which radically changed the way CalPERS handles the processing of IDR Applications.  All personnel involved with the handling of safety officer workers' compensation claims must become intimately familiar with these new CalPERS IDR requirements and procedures so that IDR Applications can be handled in the most efficient and effective manner for every local agency.
