352D.06 Annuities.

Subdivision 1. Annuity; reserves. When a participant attains at least age 55, terminates from covered service, and applies for a retirement annuity, the cash value of the participant's shares shall be transferred to the Minnesota postretirement investment fund and used to provide an annuity for the retired employee based upon the participant's age when the benefit begins to accrue according to the reserve basis used by the general state employees retirement plan in determining pensions and reserves.

Subd. 2. Partial value annuity. A participant has the option in an application for an annuity to apply for and receive a partial value of the total shares and thereafter receive an annuity, as provided in subdivision 1, based on the remaining value of the total shares.

Subd. 3. Accrual date. An annuity under this section accrues the first day of the first full month after an application is received or after termination of state service, whichever is later. Upon the former employee's request, the annuity may begin to accrue up to six months before redemption of shares, but not prior to the termination date from covered service, and must be based on the account value at redemption and upon the age of the former employee at the date annuity accrual starts. The account must be valued and redeemed on the later of the end of the month of termination of covered employment, or the end of the month of receipt of the annuity application for the purpose of computing the annuity.
