The individual filed a counterclaim in his answer to the township’s complaint in early 2019, alleging that municipal officials violated the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination and the New Jersey Civil Rights Act. Freehold Township demanded from the court that it be awarded $13,020, which reflected the officer’s net pay from the township during the time when he was allegedly receiving disability payments and a township salary. In the complaint, municipal officials allege the former officer committed unjust enrichment.
The township’s complaint alleges the individual successfully appealed the DPB decision to terminate his disability payments without informing municipal officials and that his successful appeal resulted in his improper collection of a salary from Freehold Township at the same time he was receiving disability payments. Under the state’s direction, municipal officials reinstated the former officer in the police department that year. However, in 2017 the DPB determined he was no longer totally and permanently disabled. According to the township’s complaint, the former officer began receiving accidental disability payments from the New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits (DPB) in 2011 due to a hand injury that was determined to have left him permanently and totally disabled.
