Section 21758 Of Part 3.4. Internal Revenue Code Compliance And Replacement Benefit Plan From California Government Code >> Division 5. >> Title 2. >> Part 3.4.
21758
. (a) There is in the State Treasury a Replacement Benefit
Custodial Fund, that shall be administered exclusively by the board,
that is separate and apart from the retirement fund or any other
retirement trust fund and that is, notwithstanding Section 13340,
continuously appropriated, without regard to fiscal years, to the
board to carry out the purposes of this part.
(b) The earnings on the assets of the Replacement Benefit
Custodial Fund are continuously appropriated to the board for
expenditure solely to pay the costs of administering this part.
(c) The Replacement Benefit Custodial Fund shall also consist of
employer contributions, in amounts equivalent to the benefits that
are not paid from either the retirement fund or the retirement trust
fund of a participating agency to annuitants because of the
application of the payment limitations under Section 415 of Title 26
of the United States Code; and administrative costs assessed to and
paid by members enrolled in the replacement benefit plan.
(d) The board shall determine the amount of employer contributions
required for deposit into the Replacement Benefit Custodial Fund,
based on all of the following:
(1) The amount of benefits that will not be payable from the
retirement fund, or the retirement trust fund of a participating
agency, because of the payment limitations in Section 415.
(2) The amount by which an employer's contributions to the
retirement fund, or the retirement fund of a participating agency
shall be reduced, for annuitants whose benefit payments are limited
by Section 415.
(e) The board shall establish within the Replacement Benefit
Custodial Fund an individual account for each annuitant whose benefit
payments are limited by Section 415. Employer contributions shall be
credited to each account as of the date accrued and payable to the
account of each annuitant as of the date on which the contribution is
made. Replacement benefits shall be debited from each account as of
the date paid to each annuitant.
(f) If all sections of this part, except Section 21763 and this
section, become inoperative, pursuant to Section 21763, and all acts
required and authorized by Section 21763 have been fully performed,
any remaining balance in a member's individual account in the
Replacement Benefit Custodial Fund shall revert to, and become part
of, the trust fund of the retirement system from which the member
retired.
