TITLE 11 - Consolidated Public Retirement
RS 11:1344 - Contributions

§1344. Contributions

Contributions may not be accumulated under this excess benefit plan to pay future retirement benefits. Instead, each payment of contributions by the employer that would otherwise be made to the system's pension plan shall be reduced by the amount determined by the board as necessary to meet the requirements for retirement benefits under this excess benefit plan until the next payment of contributions is expected to be made to the system's pension plan by the employer. The employer shall then pay to this excess benefit plan, out of the contributions that would otherwise have been made to the system, no later than the fourteenth day before the date of each distribution of monthly retirement benefits is required to be made from this excess benefit plan, the amount necessary to satisfy the obligation to pay monthly retirement benefits under this excess benefit plan. The board shall satisfy the obligation of this excess benefit plan to pay retirement benefits out of the employer contributions so transferred. The employer contributions otherwise required to be paid to the system's pension plan pursuant to R.S. 11:102 and any other qualified plan shall be divided into those contributions required to pay retirement benefits from this excess benefit plan and those contributions paid into and accumulated to pay the maximum benefits required to be paid under the system's pension plan. Employer contributions made to provide retirement benefits from this excess benefit plan may not be commingled with the monies of the system's pension plan or any other qualified plan, nor may this excess benefit plan ever receive any transfer of assets from the system's pension plan.
