24201.  (a) A member may retire for service under this part upon
written application for retirement to the board, under paragraph (1)
or (2) as follows:
   (1) The member has attained the age of 55 years or more and has at
least five years of credited service, at least one year of which has

not be less than the number of years necessary to determine final
compensation pursuant to Section 22134 or 22135, whichever is
applicable to the member.
   (2) The member is credited with service that is not used as a
basis for benefits under any other public retirement system,
excluding the federal social security system, if the member has

following:
   (1) An annual allowance payable in monthly installments, upon
retirement at normal retirement age but less than age 601/4, equal to
2 percent of the final compensation for each year of credited
service.  If the member's retirement is effective at less than normal
retirement age and between early retirement age and normal
retirement age, the member's allowance shall be reduced by one-half
of 1 percent for each full month, or fraction of a month that will
elapse until the member will attain normal retirement age.
   (2) An annuity that shall be the actuarial equivalent of the
accumulated annuity deposit contributions standing to the credit of
the member's account at the time of retirement.
   (b) In computing the amounts described in subdivision (a), the age
of the member on the last day of the month in which the retirement
allowance begins to accrue or such later date as provided in Section

multiplied by each year of credited service:

   If the member's retirement is effective at less than normal
retirement age and between early retirement age and normal retirement
age, the member's allowance shall be reduced by one-half of 1
percent for each full month, or fraction of a month that will elapse
until the member will attain normal retirement age.

part may retire at age 50 years or older and receive an annual
allowance equal to 2 percent of final compensation for each year of
credited service.  If the member has attained age 50 years, but has
not attained early retirement age, the allowance shall be reduced by
one-quarter of 1 percent for each full month or fraction of a month
that will elapse until the member will attain early retirement age
and one-half of 1 percent for each full month, or fraction of a month
between early retirement age and normal retirement age.

of credited service, shall be increased by two-tenths of 1
percentage point, provided that the sum of the percentage of final
compensation used to compute the allowance, including any adjustments
for retiring before the normal retirement age, and the additional
percentage provided by this section does not exceed 2.40 percent.

order pursuant to Section 22652.
   (d) Nonqualified service credit for which contributions pursuant
to Section 22826 were made in a lump sum on or after January 1, 2000,

the service retirement allowance for normal retirement age for a
limited time and then revert to the full retirement allowance for
normal retirement age.
   (a) The retirement allowance shall be based on service credit and
final compensation as of the date of retirement for service and shall
be calculated with the factor for normal retirement age.
   (b) If the member elects a joint and survivor option under Section
24300, the actuarial reduction shall be based on the member's and

   (c) One-half of the retirement allowance as of the age of 60 years
shall be paid for a period of time equal to twice the elapsed time
between the effective date of retirement and the date of the retired
member's 60th birthday.

the retired member's 60th birthday shall not affect any allowance
payable under this section.  Only those ad hoc improvements with

be accrued and accumulated and shall first become payable when the
full retirement allowance for normal retirement age becomes payable.
   (g) The cancellation of an option election in accordance with
Section 24305 shall not cancel the election under this section.  Upon
cancellation of the joint and survivor option, one-half of the
retired member's retirement allowance as calculated under subdivision
(a) shall become payable for the balance of the reduction period
specified in subdivision (c).
   (h) If a retired member who has elected a joint and survivor
option dies during the period when the reduced allowance is payable,

the beneficiary until the date when the retired member would have
received the full retirement allowance for normal retirement age.  At
that time, the beneficiary's allowance shall be increased to the
full amount payable to the beneficiary plus the appropriate annual
improvement factor increases and ad hoc increases.
24206.  The minimum unmodified allowance for service retirement
under the Defined Benefit Program, exclusive of annuities payable
from accumulated annuity deposit contributions and exclusive of the
balance of credits in the member's Defined Benefit Supplement
account, shall not be less than ten dollars ($10) per month
multiplied by the member's years of credited service.  This
guaranteed amount shall be reduced by the amount of an unmodified
allowance payable from a local system based on service credited under
the Defined Benefit Program.  If the retirement is effective at less
than age 60 years this allowance shall be reduced by one-half of 1
percent for each full month or fraction of a month that will elapse
until the member would have reached age 60 years.
24207.  If a retired member terminates a service retirement
allowance and subsequently retires under this part, the minimum
retirement allowance shall be the allowance provided by Section
24206.
24208.  (a) A member retired for service under this part may
terminate the retirement allowance upon written request to the system

24209.  (a) Upon retirement for service following reinstatement, the
member shall receive a service retirement allowance equal to the sum
of both of the following:
   (1) An amount equal to the monthly allowance the member was
receiving immediately preceding reinstatement, exclusive of any

increased by the improvement factor that would have been applied to
the allowance if the member had not reinstated.
   (2) An amount calculated pursuant to Section 24202, 24202.5,
24203, 24203.5, or 24206 on service credited subsequent to the most

chapter.  The election under this section shall be made at the time
the member files his or her application for service retirement
allowance as provided in Section 24204.
   (b) A member who makes the election described in subdivision (a)
shall receive a one-time, lump-sum payment in an amount that equals

   (1) The actuarial present value of the amount by which (A) the
monthly unmodified allowance payable to the member pursuant to this

unmodified allowance payable to the member under this chapter.

modified pursuant to Section 24300.
   (d) A member may not apply a lump-sum payment made pursuant to
this section for the purposes of redepositing previously refunded

previously refunded retirement contributions or purchase service
credit as a result of the receipt of the lump-sum payment, the
Defined Benefit Program may experience a net actuarial impact.
   (e) An election pursuant to subdivision (a) may have no net
actuarial impact to the Defined Benefit Program.  The board shall
adopt present value factors to establish a corresponding actuarially
reduced monthly allowance, that results in no net actuarial impact to
the Defined Benefit Program.  The Legislature reserves the right to
modify the provisions of this section to further the objective of
permitting eligible members to receive a lump-sum distribution of a
portion of their benefits, with a corresponding actuarial reduction
in their monthly allowance, so that there is no net actuarial impact
to the Defined Benefit Program.
