Ohio Admin. Code 742-3-17 - Withdrawal of application for service retirement or disability benefits
(A) For a member of
Ohio police and fire pension fund ("OP& F") who wishes to withdraw an
application for service retirement or disability benefits, the provisions of
paragraph B or C
(B) or (C) of this rule shall govern, depending on
which paragraph applies to the particular situation. For pending disability
benefit applications, the withdrawal of the application is also governed by
paragraph (C)(6) of rule
742-3-05
of the Administrative Code.
(B) In
cases where OP& F has not issued a warrant for the payment of the benefit
or made a payment of the benefit through direct deposit, the member can
withdraw the application for service retirement or disability benefits by
filing a written statement authorizing OP& F to withdraw the
application.
(C) In cases where
OP& F has already issued a warrant for the payment of the benefit, whether
on an interim or final payment basis, whichever is the first to occur, the
member shall return the first warrant and any subsequent warrants uncashed to
OP& F. For benefit payments made through direct deposit, OP& F must be
able to reverse the electronic funds transfer from the member's financial
institution. The member shall also file with OP& F a written statement
authorizing OP& F to withdraw the application for benefits and revoke any
direct deposit authorization. The member's written statement, uncashed
warrants, and return of payments made through direct deposit shall be received
by OP& F no later than thirty days after the date on which the first
warrant was sent to the member or deposited into the member's account by
OP& F.
(D) For a member of
OP& F who fails to withdraw the application for service retirement or
disability benefits in accordance with paragraph (B) or (C) of this rule, such
person will be deemed to have accepted the benefit and no withdrawal will be
permitted. In the case of disability benefit recipients, they will be
prohibited from applying for any new, changed, or different benefit, except as
expressly provided for in division (D) (5) of section
742.38
of the Revised Code.
