C.R.S. § 31-31-808: Disability prior to October 1, 2002.

(1) A member who becomes occupationally disabled and was awarded disability prior to October 1, 2002, is retired from active service for such time as the occupational disability continues and is eligible to receive the disability retirement benefit provided by subsection (2) of this section.

(2) The annual disability retirement benefit for occupational disability for a member who is retired pursuant to subsection (1) of this section is thirty percent of the annual base salary paid to the member immediately preceding retirement for disability. The benefit is increased by:

(a) Ten percent of the annual base salary if the member had a spouse at the time of becoming occupationally disabled, for so long as such spouse survives and is married to the member or is legally entitled to maintenance from the member in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of the increase in the benefit authorized by this subsection (2)(a). If the amount of maintenance is less than the amount of the increase in the benefit authorized by this subsection (2)(a), the benefit is increased by an amount equal to the amount of the maintenance; except that, for any member who is receiving the benefit authorized by this subsection (2)(a) and who becomes legally required to pay maintenance prior to June 1, 2001, the amount of the benefit is ten percent of the annual base salary.

(b) Ten percent of the annual base salary if such member has any dependent children.
