Supreme Court of Georgia May 7, 2001, S01A0007 (Ware v. DeKalb County Employee Retirement System Pension Board)

Sears, Justice.

The decisive issue in this appeal is whether a 1971 amendment to the DeKalb County Retirement System Pension Plan requires the county to reduce an employee’s pension benefits in an amount equal to the workers’ compensation benefits that the employee is receiving from the county. The trial court ruled that the pension plan required such a reduction in benefits.
