§1148. Refund of contributions
A. Should a member cease to be an employee except by death or retirement under the provisions of this Chapter, he shall be paid, subject to the provisions of Subsection B hereof, such part of the amount of the accumulated contributions standing to the credit of his account in the annuity savings funds as he shall demand. No application for payment or refund of contributions by any person who has withdrawn from active service shall be certified by the employer until ninety days after resignation or termination, and no payment shall be made until ninety days after the effective date of termination or resignation. Should a member die before retirement, the amount of his individual account less the amount of the service charge set forth in Subsection B shall be paid to his estate or to any person he shall have nominated by written designation executed and filed with the board of trustees, only if no survivor's benefits are payable.
B. In case the accumulated contributions of any member are paid to such member or his estate or designated beneficiary, there shall be deducted a service charge in the amount of one dollar for each year the interest is credited to his account but in no case shall the total amount of the service charge exceed the amount of fifty percent of the interest credited to the member's account. All amounts so deducted shall be credited to the expense fund and used to help to defray the cost of expense of administration of the system.
