Section 562
Disposition versions
562. A person who, at the coming into force of Chapter III, is receiving permanent disability benefits under the Workers’ Compensation Act (chapter A-3), or a person contemplated in section 558 who is entitled to a life pension as a surviving spouse of a deceased worker may, if he is under 65 years of age, transmit to the Commission a notice in writing so that it may recompute the amount of his monthly benefits according to as he elects between the two following options:
(1) a redistribution option, allowing the person to receive monthly benefits greater than his present benefits and, subject to the second paragraph of section 563, that cease on his reaching 65 years of age;
(2) a smoothing option, allowing the person to receive monthly benefits greater than his present benefits until he reaches 65 years of age and, subsequently, lower monthly benefits.
