McCaskill v. Department of State Treasurer

Petitioner Donald C. McCaskill appeals from the trial court’s 23 February 2Ó09 order affirming the Final Decision of the Board of Trustees of the Teachers’ and State Employees’ Retirement System, in which the Board determined that Petitioner was not eligible for long-term disability benefits because he had not accumulated five years of membership service in the Retirement System. After careful consideration of Petitioner’s challenges to the trial court’s order in light of the record and the applicable law, we conclude that the trial court’s order should be affirmed.
