EDUCATION CODESECTION 25012-25015
25012. (a) An annuity payable under the Defined Benefit Supplement Program shall be determined as a value actuarially equivalent to the balance of credits in the member's Defined Benefit Supplement account on the date the benefit becomes payable and after any lump-sum payment. If a single life annuity is elected, the annuity shall be calculated using the age of the member on the date the benefit becomes payable. A member may elect a single life annuity only if the member did not elect to receive a modified allowance pursuant to Section 24300. If a joint and survivor annuity is elected, the annuity shall be calculated using the age of the member and the age of the member's beneficiary on the date the benefit becomes payable. A member may elect a joint and survivor annuity only if the member elected to receive a modified allowance pursuant to Section 24300. (b) The beneficiary designation made pursuant to Section 24307 is not applicable to benefits payable under this chapter. 25013. Upon election by the member to receive a benefit payable under the Defined Benefit Supplement Program in the form of an annuity, the balance of credits in the member's Defined Benefit Supplement account shall be transferred to the Annuitant Reserve. 25014. (a) If a member reinstates from service retirement under this part, payment of a retirement annuity based on the balance of credits that was transferred from the member's Defined Benefit Supplement account to the Annuitant Reserve shall terminate. The member's Defined Benefit Supplement account shall be credited with the actuarial equivalent of the member's annuity as of the date the annuity is terminated and the Annuitant Reserve shall be reduced by the amount credited to the member's account. (b) If the member subsequently retires again, an annuity or lump-sum payment based on the remaining balance of credits in the member's Defined Benefit Supplement account at the time of the subsequent retirement shall become payable pursuant to Section 24202.5 and the balance of credits in the member's Defined Benefit Supplement account shall be transferred to the Annuitant Reserve or paid to the member in the form of a lump-sum payment. 25015. (a) If a member elects to receive a benefit payable under the Defined Benefit Supplement Program as a joint and survivor annuity, the designation of the beneficiary made pursuant to Section 24300 or 24301 shall apply to the benefit payable under this chapter. The annuity beneficiary designation shall not be changed after the date the benefit becomes payable to the member, except as provided in Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 22650). (b) If the member designates multiple annuity beneficiaries in the designation of beneficiary made pursuant to Section 24300 or 24301, the percentage of the annuity payable to each annuity beneficiary upon the death of the member specified in that designation shall apply to the benefit payable under this chapter. The annuity amount payable to the member during his or her lifetime shall be modified to be payable over the combined lives of the member and the annuity beneficiary or beneficiaries. (c) If the member predeceases an annuity beneficiary, the annuity beneficiary may designate a payee to receive an amount that may be payable in a lump-sum pursuant to Section 25023 upon the death of the annuity beneficiary.
