2006 Louisiana Laws - RS 11:1802 — Computation of normal retirement allowance

§1802.  Computation of normal retirement allowance

The monthly amount of the retirement allowance for any member of Plan B shall consist of an amount equal to two percent of the member's final compensation multiplied by his years of creditable service, provided that:

(1)  Any member who has held an elective office in a municipality which is a participating employer shall be paid an additional annuity equal to one-half of one percent for each year of such elective service; and

(2)  Should a retired member die, without having received in retirement benefits an amount equal to his accumulated contributions standing to his credit at the date of his retirement, and leave no eligible survivors, any balance remaining to his credit shall be paid to his designated beneficiary or, if none, his estate.

(3)  Any city marshal or deputy city marshal, excluding those members serving as city marshals and deputy city marshals of Bossier City or Ruston on June 30, 2003, shall receive an additional regular retirement benefit computed as follows: the monthly average of the seventy-two highest consecutive or joined months of supplemental marshals' earnings on which contributions were paid to the retirement system multiplied by the number of years contributions were paid to the retirement system on supplemental marshals' earnings multiplied by two percent for all service as a city marshal or deputy city marshal, plus one-half of one percent for all elected service as a city marshal.  Should the period over which contributions are paid to the retirement system on supplemental marshals' earnings be less than seventy-two months, then the actual period for which contributions were paid shall be used to determine average supplemental marshals' earnings used to compute this benefit.
