Section 22360.5 Of Chapter 6. Investments From California Education Code >> Division 1. >> Title 1. >> Part 13. >> Chapter 6.
22360.5
. (a) The board may include in any investment program
established pursuant to Section 22360 a procedure whereby a member
may obtain 100 percent financing for the purchase for a single-family
dwelling unit in accordance with the following criteria:
(1) The member shall obtain one loan secured by the purchased
home, pursuant to Section 22360, and a second personal loan secured
by a portion of the accumulated retirement contributions in the
member's individual account. The personal loan shall only be used for
the purchase of the member's principal residence and not for a loan
to refinance the member's existing mortgage.
(2) The loan secured by the purchased home shall be consistent
with the requirements imposed by Section 22360.
(3) In no event may the personal loan secured by the accumulated
retirement contributions in the member's individual account exceed
the lesser of 50 percent of the current value amount of the
accumulated retirement contributions or fifty thousand dollars
($50,000).
(4) If two members are married, the personal loan secured by the
sum total of accumulated retirement contributions in both members'
accounts shall not exceed 5 percent of the loan.
(5) The pledge of security under this section shall remain in
effect until the personal loan is paid in full.
(b) The pledge of security under this section shall take binding
effect. In the event of a default on the personal loan secured by the
member's retirement contributions as authorized by this section, the
board shall deduct an amount from the member's accumulated
retirement contributions on deposit and adjust the member's
accumulated retirement contributions as necessary to recover any
outstanding loan balance prior to making any disbursement of a refund
or a lump-sum distribution.
(c) In the event of a default on the personal loan by a member,
the board shall deduct the monthly principal plus appropriate
interest from the member's benefit, when the member begins receiving
a benefit, until the loan is paid in full.
(d) In the event of a default on the personal loan by a member
receiving a benefit, the board shall deduct the monthly principal and
interest from the member's benefit until the personal loan is paid
in full.
(e) The secured personal loan permitted under this section shall
be made available only to members who meet eligibility criteria as
determined by the board.
(f) In the event of a refund or lump-sum distribution of the
accumulated retirement contributions, the member's account shall be
adjusted as necessary to recover any outstanding loan balance.
(g) If the member is married at the time the home is purchased
with a personal loan secured by the member's accumulated retirement
contributions as authorized by this section, then the member's spouse
shall agree in writing to the pledge of security, as to his or her
community interest in the amount pledged, regardless of whether title
to the home is held in joint tenancy.
(h) For purposes of the section only, "member" means any person
who is entitled to receive an allowance funded by the system pursuant
to this part or Part 14, notwithstanding any vesting requirement and
without regard to present eligibility to retire, and who is not
retired or disabled.
