If a member fails to respond in any way within 90 days after preliminary option figures and Form 6-E, Election of Benefits, are mailed, the Form 6, Application for Service, Early, or Disability Retirement, shall be null and void; the retirement system shall not be liable for any benefits due on account of the voided application, and a new application must be filed establishing a subsequent effective date of retirement. If an applicant for disability retirement fails to furnish requested additional medical information within 90 days following such request, the application shall be declared null and void under the same conditions outlined above, unless the applicant is eligible for early or service retirement in which case the application shall be processed accordingly, using the same effective date as would have been used had the application for disability retirement been approved.
