No disability benefit or retirement allowance shall be granted to any employee who may become eligible for retirement as provided in this chapter until the employee, or one authorized to act in the employee's behalf, shall have filed with the retirement board, in such form as may be prescribed by the board, an application for such allowance. No installment of any such allowance shall be paid for any period prior to the effective date of retirement or the date of application, whichever occurs later.
