Disability Pension/Disabled Dependents - Case Review

The City of Waterbury’s Department of Pension & Benefits, in partnership with the Finance Department, is seeking a qualified professional firm to assist the city’s Retirement Board by reviewing and evaluating medical opinions, records, and examination results for disability pension applications and for disabled dependents covered under the city’s health plan. The contractor will conduct detailed case reviews, determine eligibility, and provide recommendations to the board for approval or denial of benefits.
