Incentive Available to Employees Seeking Disability Retirement

The union has received a number of inquiries recently seeking clarification about whether employees who retire on disability are eligible for the incentive negotiated by the APWU, President William Burrus said.

“The agreement does not exclude such employees,” he noted. “The Memorandum of Understanding provides for an incentive of $15,000 for employees who retire or separate.”

The issue is addressed in Question #8 in the USPS-APWU Memorandum of Understanding Re: One-Time Retirement Incentive - Questions and Answers.
