3 Miss. Code. R. 2-1-112

Current through August 31, 2024
Section 3-2-1-112 - Reduction of Benefit Payments

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, no benefit payments shall be made unless adequate funds are available in the Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters Disability Benefits Trust Fund. The State shall not be liable for a written order to pay compensation, except to the extent that monies are available in the fund on the date the claim is approved. The Mississippi Attorney Generals Office has the right to adjust benefit payments so that the total amount awarded does not exceed the amount of money on deposit in the fund. During the approved benefit period when such reduction is due to the unavailability of funds, covered individuals may not seek future reimbursements due to any reductions in benefit payments. The Mississippi Attorney Generals Office may opt to suspend payments until sufficient funding is on deposit in the fund.
