1. (a) A person receiving a disability retirement annuity may work as a substitute in a month without forfeiting the annuity for that month subject to the same conditions as apply to service retirees except that the total substitute service and one-half time employment in the school year may not exceed 90 days. This exception does not apply for the first month after the retiree's effective date of retirement (or the first two months if the person's retirement date has been set on May 31 under §29.14 of this title (relating to Eligibility for Retirement at the End of May) or under §29.21 of this title (relating to Effective Date for Disability Retirement)). Employment by a third party entity is considered employment by a Texas public educational institution unless the retiree does not perform duties or provide services on behalf of or for the benefit of the institution or the retiree was first employed by the third party entity before May 24, 2003.
2. (b) Any disability retiree who reports for duty as a substitute during any day and works any portion of that day shall be considered to have worked one day.
