§564. Credit for service with indigent defender program
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any person who is a member of the retirement plan maintained for judges and officers of the court within the Louisiana State Employees' Retirement System shall be eligible to receive judicial credit for all service rendered in the program, under the Indigent Defender Board as established in Acts 1976, No. 653, if at any time he was employed as chief indigent defender or an assistant. In order to obtain this credit, the member shall make application therefor on or before January 1, 1999, and furnish to the board of trustees a detailed statement of all service for which credit is claimed in such form as the board may require. In addition, there shall be paid into the system an amount which, on an actuarial basis, totally offsets the increase in accrued liability of the system resulting from the receipt of the credit. The amount payable shall be calculated by use of the actuarial funding method, assumptions, and tables in use by the system at the time of application for credit. Such amount shall be paid in one lump sum or in such installments as shall be agreed upon between the member and the board of trustees.
