Title 3 PUBLIC OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
Chapter 12. South Dakota Retirement System
§3-12-76.3 Distribution by direct rollover.

3-12-76.3. Distribution by direct rollover. A member who elects to withdraw accumulated contributions as provided in § 3-12-76 or 3-12-76.1, or a member's surviving spouse or nonspouse beneficiary who receives a lump-sum payment pursuant to § 3-12-110, may receive the distribution directly. Eligible rollover distributions may be transferred by the system in a direct rollover to no more than one eligible retirement plan identified by a member, a member's surviving spouse, or a member's nonspouse beneficiary if the individual so elects. The board shall promulgate rules pursuant to chapter 1-26 to comply with federal mandates regarding rollover distributions. The system is not required to make an independent determination as to whether the plan identified by a member, surviving spouse, or nonspouse beneficiary qualifies as an eligible retirement plan. By electing a direct rollover and identifying the eligible retirement plan to which an eligible rollover distribution is to be made, a member, surviving spouse, or nonspouse beneficiary represents to the system that the identified plan qualifies as an eligible retirement plan. If a member, surviving spouse, or nonspouse beneficiary does not elect a direct rollover, the distribution shall be issued in the name of, and directly to, that person.
