3-12C-822. Termination of disability benefits. A member's disability benefits terminate if the member is no longer disabled, as certified by a health care provider. Upon receipt of certification the executive director shall determine whether the member meets the qualifications for disability benefits. In making this determination the executive director shall follow the same procedure used in making the initial determination of disability provided in § 3-12C-816. A member's disability benefits shall be suspended and subject to termination if the member refuses to undergo an examination or assessment requested by the disability advisory committee or the executive director. If the executive director finds that the member no longer meets the qualifications for disability benefits, the executive director shall notify the member of this finding by certified mail and the payment of disability benefits shall terminate thirty days after receipt of the notice. The finding by the executive director is subject to appeal and review as a contested case.
