Title 11. Cities and Towns
§11-50-107. Custody and disbursement of pension funds - Refund for overpayment.

A. All monies provided for the Fund of the System by this article, or by appropriation by any municipality, or by contribution from members, shall be paid over to and received by the State Board for the use and benefit of the System to be disbursed and handled as provided in this article.

B. Should any error in any records of the Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System result in any payee receiving more or less than the payee would have been entitled had the records been correct, the State Board shall correct such error and shall pay any underpayments or recover any overpayments. An error does not include a member's failure to submit required documents, including proof of military service, prior to the effective date of retirement, which date includes the member's entry into the Oklahoma Police Deferred Option Plan. If a member submits documents after the effective date of retirement, no adjustment in retirement benefits shall be made.

C. Should more than the amount of a participating municipality or member contributions be paid to the System by a participating municipality through a mistake of fact, the System shall refund the amounts paid to the participating municipality within one year after the date on which the mistaken contribution was made. The System shall not pay the participating municipality earnings attributable to such contribution but shall reduce the amount returned to the participating municipality pursuant to this subsection by the amount of losses attributable to such contribution.
