6c) The Fund shall not be liable to make payment of Benefits to a Member where the Member’s Class 1 Medical Certificate has been suspended or Permanently Lost for any disability in respect of which, in the Trustee’s reasonable opinion, the Member either is currently or would be entitled to receive any periodical or other payments (including, but not limited to workers’ compensation) under state or federal legislation, unless the disability has been specifically accepted by the Trustee
So if you receive
any payment the fund doesn't have to pay. Even if the payment is say, 10%, you won't get any from the MBF, as 10% would constitute
any payment.
Perhaps it could be changed to say that the fund will only pay the extra above what other entities are paying, up to a total of 100% of current earnings. That would stop double dipping & still be fair on pilots trying to survive financially.
