52:18A-120. Fixed retirement benefit; transfer of outstanding loan balance 14. a. Upon retirement under a State administered retirement system, a participant in the Fixed Division shall receive a fixed benefit under which the initial payment is determined by (1) appropriate actuarial factors, as adopted from time to time by the council with the advice of the actuary, and by (2) the value of his account as of the close of the calendar month in which the retirement becomes effective; and each subsequent payment shall be in the same amount, for the term of the benefit. The benefit payable to a retired participant shall be in the form of a life annuity, unless the participant requests, upon written application filed with the council prior to retirement, that the value of such benefit be paid as a single cash payment or under such other optional method of settlement as the council may establish by rules and regulations on the advice of the actuary. In the event the value of a participant's account at retirement results in an annuity with initial monthly payments of less than $10.00, the benefit shall be paid in a single cash payment.
b. A participant who is a member of the Public Employees' Retirement System of New Jersey or of the Teachers' Pension and Annuity Fund may request, upon written application filed with the council no earlier than 90 days and no later than 30 days before retirement, that an amount less than or equal to the outstanding balance of a loan borrowed from the retirement system under section 34 of P.L.1954, c.84 (C.43:15A-34) or N.J.S.18A:66-35 be subtracted and transferred from the participant's account and credited to the retirement system in repayment of that loan and that amount shall be transferred before determination of the benefit payable to the participant under subsection a. of this section.
