24417
. (a) The proceeds of an auxiliary Supplemental Benefit
Maintenance Account shall be distributed annually in quarterly
supplemental payments, commencing when funds in the Supplemental
Benefit Maintenance Account are insufficient to support 85 percent,
to retired members, disabled members, and beneficiaries, as defined
in subdivision (a) of Section 22107. The amount available for
distribution in any fiscal year shall not exceed the amount necessary
to restore purchasing power up to 85 percent of the purchasing power
of the initial monthly allowance after the application of all
allowance increases authorized by this part, including those
specified in Sections 24412 and 24415, and excluding those provided
pursuant to Sections 24410.5, 24410.6, and 24410.7.
(b) The net revenues to be distributed shall be allocated among
those retired members, disabled members, and beneficiaries, as
defined in subdivision (a) of Section 22107, whose allowances, after
sequentially applying the annual improvement factor as defined in
Sections 22140 and 22141, and the annual supplemental payment as
specified in Sections 24412 and 24415, have the lowest purchasing
power percentage. The purchasing power calculation for each
individual shall be based on the change in the All Urban California
Consumer Price Index between June of the calendar year of the benefit
effective date and June of the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year
of distribution.
(c) The allowance increase shall not be applicable to annuities
payable from the accumulated annuity deposit contributions or the
accumulated tax-sheltered annuity contributions.
(d) The increases provided by subdivision (b) are not cumulative,
nor part of the base allowance, and will be payable only to the
extent that funds are available from the Supplemental Benefit
Maintenance Account and the auxiliary Supplemental Benefit
Maintenance Account. The board shall inform each recipient of the
contents of this subdivision.
(e) The distributions authorized by this section are vested only
up to the amount payable as a result of the annual appropriation made
pursuant to Section 22954 and the adjustments made by the board
pursuant to Section 24415.5. The distributions authorized by this
section shall not be included in the base allowance for purposes of
calculating the annual improvement defined by Sections 22140 and
22141.
(f) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), for purposes of restoring the
purchasing power of benefits provided pursuant to Section 24410.5
for members and beneficiaries receiving benefits pursuant to
subdivision (b), the purchasing power calculation shall be based on
85 percent of the change in the All Urban California Consumer Price
Index between January 2000 and June of the fiscal year preceding the
fiscal year of distribution, after the application of increases
authorized by Section 24412 that are made to the allowances provided
pursuant to Section 24410.5.
(g) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), for purposes of restoring the
purchasing power of benefits provided pursuant to Sections 24410.6
and 24410.7 for members and beneficiaries receiving benefits pursuant
to subdivision (b), the purchasing power calculation shall be based
on 85 percent of the change in the All Urban California Consumer
Price Index between January 2001 and June of the fiscal year
preceding the fiscal year of distribution, after the application of
increases authorized by Section 24412 that are made to the allowances
provided pursuant to Sections 24410.6 and 24410.7.
