Disabled Teachers,
State and Local Government Retirees
Lawsuits 1985 to 1997 |
In 1982 and
again in 1988, the state enacted laws that decreased the
benefits to state employees in the eve of total disability. In
April 1997, the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled this was an
impairment of contract. Monthly benefits were restored and
almost $100,000,000 in refunds have been paid and several
billion in future benefits restored. A lifelong increase
in benefits for about 6,000 disabled teachers and state
employees was achieved. Attorney Marvin Schiller had won the
Simpson Local Government Disabled Retiree Simpson Case in 1988
and G. Eugene Boyce assisted him in the four state cases.
Faulkenbury/Woodard/Peele/Hailey Cases.
