What happens to the employee for whom a determination has been made indicating a service-connected permanent and total disability?
Any permanently and totally disabled employee shall continue to be compensated at disability salary for one (1) year except in cases wherein the appointing authority extends the period in six (6) month increments, in which case the compensation shall not exceed, in the aggregate, three (3) years ( Reg. 32.0511 ). The employee shall also receive, so long as he or she is under active treatment with a physician authorized by the Medical Director, medical care and hospitalization required in connection with such disability as approved by the Medical Director ( Reg. 32.0512 ).
