1. “(a) An employee who has 5 years of credited service, exclusive of service credited under § 5501(b)(4), (5) and (12) of this title, and becomes disabled shall become eligible to receive a disability pension beginning with the fourth month following the inception of his or her disability provided that such pension shall not be calculated under § 5527(a)(l)(i) of this title, unless a pension would have been payable under this chapter in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the 1976 Pension Act. Such individual shall cease to be eligible at the end of the month in which he or she recovers from disability and is again offered employment as an employee, if such recovery and offer of employment occurs before his or her attainment of age 60. (b) Such an employee shall be kept on the active payroll and receive credited service from the inception of his disability to the end of the third month following and shall receive payments at the same rate of compensation he received before he became disabled. (c) An employee shall be deemed disabled for the purposes of this section if he has a physical or mental disability which prevents him from performing the duties of his position.”
