How often must TDRL reexaminations occur?

• A. Every 12 months
• B. Every 18 months
• C. Every 24 months
• D. Only upon request

Answer: (B)

On the Temporary Disability Retirement List, reexaminations are used to check whether a member’s disability has improved enough to discontinue TDRL or whether it still warrants continued retirement status. The standard interval for these reexaminations is every 18 months from placement, and they continue at 18-month intervals as long as the member remains on TDRL. This schedule ensures timely review without delaying action for potential medical changes.
