the MD State Retirement Agency denied me for benefits and even denied me for the less generous retirement plan offered for state employees called ordinary disability&period; <&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-size&colon; 12pt&semi;">I obtained an attorney to appeal and was denied again for both retirement benefits again at the reconsideration level&period; My attorney found out the reason why MSRA denied me is because ECI submitted a memo with misleading and false information in regards to my job&period; In it personnel stated my job was 95&percnt; sedentary &lpar;the same medical restriction I was cleared to work that ECI said they could not accommodate&rpar; so the MSRA denied me for all medical disability retirement benefits because they feel I can continue to work my normal job duties even though ECI won&&num;8217&semi;t allow me to report to work there anymore&period; The memo also falsely states my job duties do not require me to act as a Correctional Officer in a time of emergency&period; My former position is included in the list of mandated classifications that has daily contact with inmates&period; I can be asked to perform security&comma; custody&comma; and control functions within the Correctional setting and was required to complete mandatory Correctional training certified by the MD Correctional Training Commission so I could do so&period; Case managers including myself have always been called to perform CO duties in times of need usually during mass shakedowns of the housing units&period; This is important because&comma; in my application&comma; I stated that sometimes we have to perform CO duties in an emergency and I have to be medically cleared for full duty to do so&period; Lastly&comma; instead of ECI personnel providing more information to MSRA on why I can no longer work there&comma; they were more interested in stating on the memo that they were advised on the QT that I was currently working in another sedentary job&period; At that time I was not working then and making that statement alludes as if I wouldn&&num;8217&semi;t work ECI&&num;8217&semi;s sedentary position but could work a sedentary position with a different employer when in fact I had no choice in the matter the reason why I was no longer working at ECI&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><iframe style&equals;"max-width&colon;

sedentary&period; She explained to me that since I&&num;8217&semi;m not medically cleared for full duty&comma; I can not work around inmates or have contact with inmates in a Correctional facility because the state is not going to be liable for me if I got injured inside a hazardous Correctional environment&period; So nice of the State to protect themselves from any liability issues but not care about my well being financially and medically&period; She referred me to contact Karen Murphy&comma; Executive Director of Human Resources for Dept&period; of Public Safety and Correctional Services&period; I emailed her for more information&comma; and she stated that my job is included in the list of mandated classifications and are considered to be Institutional support staff and any employee who is unable to fulfill the job requirements can no longer have contact with inmates&period; Per COMAR 12&period;10&period;01&period;01&comma; the definition of Institutional support staff means a mandated employee who performs one or more of the duties of a Correctional Officer&comma; but whose primary duties are other than that of a Correctional Officer&comma; classification counselor&comma; parole&comma; and probation agent&comma; or monitor&period; So according to Ms&period; Murphy&comma; we can perform CO duties&period; If we&&num;8217&semi;re not supposed to&comma;

sedentary and then he states that Case Managers are never required to act in the capacity of a Correctional Officer&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s funny he makes that statement considering he was the one who sent a Case Manager and an office secretary to work at the control center of a housing unit on the morning of Friday&comma;

That would be a serious breach of security that places all staff&comma; inmates and most of all public safety at risk if she had opened a wrong door by mistake allowing an inmate to take control of the housing unit&excl;

The Warden at the time&comma; Kathleen Green was made aware of the violation as well&comma; but instead of Mr&period; Scramlin being disciplined for it&comma; it was quickly brushed under the rug&period;
