Title VI COUNTY, TOWNSHIP AND POLITICAL SUBDIVISION GOVERNMENT

50.1230. Matching contributions by board, when, rules — matching contributions by county, when. — 1. The board, in its sole discretion, shall determine if it will make matching contributions for a calendar year and the aggregate amount of the contribution. Each member who makes contributions to the deferred compensation program described in section 50.1300 during the calendar year for which the contribution is made shall be eligible to receive an allocation of this contribution. Generally, the board shall allocate matching contributions pro rata, on the basis of a member's contributions to the deferred compensation program described in section 50.1300. However, the board shall follow these rules in making this allocation:

(1) Board matching contributions allocated to a member who is not a member of LAGERS shall not exceed the lesser of (i) three percent of such nonLAGERS member's compensation for the calendar year or (ii) fifty percent of such nonLAGERS member's contributions to the deferred compensation program described in section 50.1300;

(2) Board matching contributions allocated to a member who is a member of LAGERS shall not exceed the lesser of (i) one and one-half percent of such member's compensation for the calendar year or (ii) twenty-five percent of such member's contributions to the deferred compensation program described in section 50.1300;

(3) The board shall set a specific matching percentage for each calendar year. Unless otherwise provided in subdivision (1) of this subsection, the matching contribution allocated to a nonLAGERS member shall be such matching percentage, multiplied by the member's contributions to the deferred compensation program for the calendar year. Unless otherwise provided in subdivision (2) of this subsection, the board matching contribution allocated to a member who is also a LAGERS member shall be one-half of the matching percentage, multiplied by the member's contributions to the deferred compensation program for the calendar year.

2. In addition to matching contributions made by the board pursuant to the aforementioned criteria, a county shall also be entitled to make matching contributions to defined contribution accounts of members employed by such county in accordance with the rules and regulations formulated and adopted by the board from time to time.
