2772
. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this part, any
trainee who was a resident of this state at the time of his entrance
into the military service, who is a resident of this state at the
time he applies for disability compensation benefits under this
section, and who has been disabled in the military service and is
eligible to receive disability compensation from the federal
government for such disability, shall be eligible, upon his discharge
from the military service, to receive disability compensation
benefits under Section 2655 from the time he is determined by the
federal government to be eligible for disability compensation
payments from the federal government until such time as he begins to
receive his disability compensation payments from the federal
government.
Such trainee's weekly benefit amount shall be the maximum amount
specified in Section 2655 or the amount of the disability
compensation which he is eligible to receive from the federal
government, whichever is smaller.
Each trainee receiving any benefits pursuant to this section shall
repay to the state the amount received as benefits hereunder. Each
trainee, as a condition of receiving benefit hereunder, shall assign
to the state the disability compensation which he is eligible to
receive from the federal government to the extent that he receives
benefits from the state pursuant to this section and shall enter into
a contract with the director, in a form prescribed by the director,
under which the trainee will be obligated to repay the state over a
period of not more than one year following the date he first receives
disability compensation from the federal government for his
disability. Repayments made by such trainees shall be deposited by
the director in the General Fund.
