§606. Deferred Retirement Option Plan participation
A. A member cannot transfer into the secondary component while participating in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan, but must complete his participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan under the conditions existing at the time he commenced his Deferred Retirement Option Plan participation and will not have the option to upgrade any service that was credited to his account prior to his commencement of participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan.
B.(1) If the member terminates his participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan on or after January 1, 2002, then his supplemental benefit shall accrue at the rate established in the secondary component at the employee contribution rate established for members of the secondary component.
(2) If a member has completed his participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan prior to January 1, 2002, then that member will have the same option that a member has under R.S. 11:605, but only as to the service credited to his account after his participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan. A member of the secondary component who makes application for retirement to the system and leaves service on or before December 31, 2003, has the option of upgrading all or a portion of any service that was credited to the member's account prior to entering into the Deferred Retirement Option Plan by purchase made pursuant to R.S. 11:158, to upgrade any such service credit to the accrual rate established in the secondary component anytime prior to retirement. The payment shall completely offset any liability to the system for benefits attributed to the upgrade of the service credit. The balance in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan account and any contribution being made to the Deferred Retirement Option Plan account shall be unaffected by the recalculation of the retirement benefit.
Acts 2001, No. 746, §1, eff. Dec. 31, 2001; Acts 2003, No. 1234, §1.
