Medical Retirement - Operational Pension - Indexing

[u/Trick_Fig3092]

If I medically retire, will my pension be indexed right away? I will have 21 years of service and am 42 years of age.

I know a normal operational service pension requires you to get to the 85 factor to begin indexing (tho the percentages will accumulate from date of retirement until 85 factor)

Yes. Section 64 of the PSSA provides that a recipient (of supplementary retirement benefits, a.k.a. indexing), includes a person who is in receipt of an immediate annuity or annual allowance not having reached sixty years of age and is in receipt of that immediate annuity or annual allowance by reason of being disabled.
