Section 31681.1 Of Article 8. Retirement For Service From California Government Code >> Division 4. >> Title 3. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 8.
31681.1
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter,
every retirement allowance payable for time commencing on the
effective date of this section to any previously retired member of a
superseded system not established pursuant to either Chapter 4 or
Chapter 5 is hereby increased, by increase of the pension portion
thereof, to the amount it would be if the previously retired member
of such superseded system had been retired under the provisions of
this chapter, and the provisions of this chapter, as they are in
effect on the effective date of this section, had been in effect at
the time of the retirement of the previously retired member, assuming
that all of the service with which he was credited at the time of
his actual retirement constituted prior service under this chapter.
(b) However, if such retirement allowance payable for time after
the effective date of this section, as increased by subdivision (a)
of this section, is less than one thousand two hundred dollars
($1,200) a year, and if the previously retired member of the
superseded system (not established pursuant to either Chapter 4 or
Chapter 5) was credited at the time of his retirement with 20 or more
years of service, or was retired after attaining the compulsory age
of retirement, an additional amount provided by contributions of the
county shall be added to his retirement allowance which will cause
his total retirement allowance to amount to one thousand two hundred
dollars ($1,200) a year.
(c) This section does not authorize any decrease in any such
retirement allowance, nor does this section give any such previously
retired member of such superseded retirement system, or his
successors in interest, any claim against the county for any increase
in any retirement allowance paid or payable for time prior to its
effective date. Calculations of retirement allowances under this
section shall be made on the basis of current interest rate and
mortality tables.
