Davis v. Department of Administration, Division of Retirement

WOLF, Judge.

Davis appeals from a final administrative order of the Department of Administration, Division of Retirement (division) which provided for forfeiture of certain retirement benefits by the appellant. A number of points are raised on appeal, but only one has merit and is necessary for us to address: Whether the division wrongfully rejected the finding of the hearing officer that appellant was an independent contractor rather than an employee of the Union County School Board from July 1, 1983, until October 31, 1984. We determine that the hearing officer was correct, and reverse.
