     352B.105 Termination of disability benefits. 

    Disability benefits payable under section 352B.10 shall 
 terminate at the end of the month the beneficiary becomes 65 
 years old.  If the beneficiary is still disabled when the 
 beneficiary becomes 65 years old, the beneficiary shall be 
 deemed to be a retired member and, if the beneficiary had chosen 
 an optional annuity under section 352B.10, subdivision 5, shall 
 receive an annuity in accordance with the terms of the optional 
 annuity previously chosen.  If the beneficiary had not chosen an 
 optional annuity under section 352B.10, subdivision 5, the 
 beneficiary may choose to receive either a normal retirement 
 annuity computed under section 352B.08, subdivision 2, or an 
 optional annuity as provided in section 352B.08, subdivision 3. 
 An optional annuity must be chosen within 90 days of attaining 
 age 65 or reaching the five-year anniversary of the effective 
 date of the disability benefit, whichever is later.  If an 
 optional annuity is chosen, the optional annuity shall begin to 
 accrue the first of the month following attainment of age 65 or 
 the five-year anniversary of the effective date of the 
 disability benefit, whichever is later.
