Disability Benefit Program
Disability Allowance & Disability Retirement
STRS Ohio has two disability benefit programs: disability allowance
and disability retirement.
- Members who became STRS Ohio members after July 29, 1992, and Combined
Plan members who qualify for disability benefits automatically have
protection under the Disability Allowance Program.
- Members who were STRS Ohio members on or before July 29, 1992, chose the disability program in which they wanted to participate.
The medical criteria for both programs are that an injury or illness must permanently disable the individual from performing regular job duties. To be considered permanent, the disability must be expected to continue at least 12 months from the date of application to STRS Ohio.
