| If a judge is determined by the Governor to qualify for a disability benefit, he or she will continue to receive salary for one year, however, not beyond age 70. After receiving salary for the year, a disability benefit is payable from MSRS. The benefit is based on length of service and high-five average salary. A judge receives 3.2 percent for each year of service. The minimum disability benefit is 25 percent of a judges high-five average salary with no early-retirement deduction applied. At age 70, a judge is considered retired, and no longer eligible for disability or the one-year salary continuation. | |||||||||||
