Termination or partial termination of System
Official statutory text
(1) In the event the System is terminated or partially
terminated the right of all participants or in the event of partial
termination the rights of the affected participants, whether retired
or otherwise, shall become fully vested.
(2) In the event of termination of the System, the Board shall
distribute the net assets of the fund, allowing a period of not less
than six (6) nor more than nine (9) months for dissolution of
disability claims, as follows:
(a) First, accumulated contributions shall be
allocated to each respective participant, former participant,
retired member joint annuitant or beneficiary then receiving
payments. If these assets are insufficient for this purpose, they
shall be allocated to each such person in the proportion which his
accumulated contributions bear to the total of all such
participants' accumulated contributions. For purposes of this
section, contribution means payment into the System by an employer
or employee for the benefit of an individual employee.
(b) The balance of such assets, if any, remaining
after making the allocations provided in subparagraph (a) of this
section shall be disposed of by allocating to each person then
having an interest in the fund the excess of his retirement income
under the System less the retirement income which is equal to the
actuarial equivalent of the amount allocated to him under
subparagraph (a) of this section. Such allocation shall be made
with the full amount of the remaining assets to be allocated to the
persons in each group in the following order of precedence:
(i) those retired members, joint annuitants or
beneficiaries receiving benefits,
(ii) those members eligible to retire,
(iii) those members eligible for early retirement,
(iv) former participants electing to receive a
vested benefit, and
(v) all other members.
In the event the balance of the fund remaining after all
allocations have been made with respect to all retirement income in
a preceding group is insufficient to allocate the full actuarial
equivalent of such retirement income to all persons in the group for
which it is then being applied, such balance of the fund shall be
allocated to each person in such group in the proportion which the
actuarial equivalent of the retirement income allocable to him
pursuant to such group bears to the total actuarial equivalent of
the retirement income so allocable to all persons in such group.
Provided no discrimination in value results, the Board shall
distribute the amounts so allocated in one of the following manners
as the Board in their discretion may determine:

(i) by continuing payment of benefits as they become
due, or

such person.
