(a) A member who was an employee of the state or political subdivision on April 1, 1955, and who was a member of the public employees' retirement fund or the Indiana state teachers' retirement fund, before April 1, 1955, is entitled to a normal retirement benefit which, when added to the primary social security benefit to which he may become entitled under the Social Security Act, is greater than or equal to the normal retirement benefit to which he would have been entitled under the retirement fund law in effect before April 1, 1955.

(b) This section does not abridge, diminish, or cancel any rights, privileges, or benefits provided to these members under laws in effect before April 1, 1955.

(c) If a member of the retirement fund of the state board of accounts:

(1) was a member of that fund on April 1, 1955; and

(2) dies, retires, or qualifies for disability retirement before April 2, 1970;

the member or his surviving spouse may choose to receive, instead of the benefits of this article, the annuity survivor or disability benefits under the retirement fund law in effect on March 31, 1955. The benefit paid shall be reduced by any payments under the federal Social Security Act. In addition, the member may receive any annuity payments provided by additional annuity contributions.

(d) If a member has earnings recorded under the Social Security Act from employment with more than one (1) employer, the amount of his primary social security benefit shall be computed by applying to his total primary social security benefit the percentage which his earnings recorded for service covered by IC 5-10.1 constitute of his total earnings recorded under the Social Security Act. The social security benefit determined is considered payable even if the member fails to apply for the benefit or loses all or part of it by delaying to apply for it or by engaging in covered employment or for any other reason.

(e) The benefit to which the member would have been entitled under the retirement fund law in effect before April 1, 1955, shall be computed either:

(1) on the assumption that contributions were made as required by the retirement fund law on and after the date the member became subject to the Social Security Act; or

(2) on the basis of his contributions actually made to the fund on and after April 1, 1955, and to the contribution fund established in IC 5-10.1 by January 1, 1987;

whichever of subdivision (1) or (2) is larger.

(f) The normal retirement benefit for retirement at any age under retirement fund laws in effect before April 1, 1955, and for retirement on or after age sixty-five (65) under this article is the retirement benefit payable for life without special election. For retirement before age sixty-five (65) after April 1, 1955, it is the retirement benefit payable under the option which integrates with the social security benefit at the youngest age of eligibility for the social security benefit to provide a uniform total benefit.

(g) The employer responsible for the employer contribution for a member who is retiring shall make any contributions required to carry out this section.

(b) The authority may provide for the issuance of bonds of the authority for the purpose of refunding any bonds of the authority then outstanding, including the payment of any redemption premium on these bonds and any interest accrued or to accrue to the earliest or any subsequent date of redemption, purchase or maturity of these bonds, and, if considered advisable by the authority, for the additional purpose of paying all or any part of the cost of health facility property.

(c) The proceeds of any bonds issued for the purpose of refunding outstanding bonds may, in the discretion of the authority, be applied to the purchase or retirement at maturity or redemption of the outstanding bonds either on their earliest or any subsequent redemption date or upon the purchase or at the maturity of the bonds and may, pending such an application, be placed in escrow to be applied to the purchase or retirement at maturity or redemption on the date as may be determined by the authority.

Claims; subrogation
Status: in_force

Sec. 32. (a) If the payment of a claim has fully covered the lender's loss on an enrolled loan or if the payment of a claim when combined with any recovery from the borrower has fully covered the lender's loss, the corporation, upon request, is subrogated to the rights of the lender with respect to any collateral, security, or other right of recovery in connection with the loan that has not been realized by the lender. The lender thereafter shall assign to the corporation any right, title, or interest to any collateral, security, or other right of recovery in connection with the loan.

(b) If an assignment has been made under subsection (a), the corporation is not required to undertake the obligations of the lender under the lender's loan documents, except for obligations directly related to the corporation's assigned rights of recovery in connection with the loan. The lender shall fulfill any other obligations the lender has under the loan documents in the same manner and to the same degree as would be required if the assignment had not been made. The lender shall provide the corporation with all reasonable assistance the corporation requests in proceeding with respect to any collateral, security, or other right of recovery, except that the lender does not need to incur any out-of-pocket expenses.

(c) If the corporation desires to exercise the right of subrogation in connection with an enrolled loan, and would be entitled to exercise that right except that the lender's loss has not been fully covered, the corporation, at the corporation's option, may pay from funds in the reserve fund an amount sufficient to result in the lender's loss being fully covered. A payment under this subsection may cover a principal amount not covered under the program or not included in the lender's claim. Upon making a payment under this subsection, the corporation is subrogated to the rights of the lender in accordance with subsection (a).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the corporation may not exercise the right of subrogation unless the corporation determines, in the corporation's discretion, that the lender has not exercised reasonable care and diligence in collection activities with respect to the loan, or that there is a reasonable basis for believing that the lender will not exercise reasonable care and diligence in the future with respect to those collection activities.

(g) If the fund is authorized to make, in the form of a single check or a series of checks, a one (1) time distribution that does not increase the pension portion of the monthly benefit, the distribution must include members eligible for disability benefits. A member eligible for disability benefits is required to meet all additional requirements necessary to receive the check or series of checks issued by the fund under this subsection.

However, the state examiner may revoke a waiver granted under this subsection if the state examiner determines that revocation of the waiver is appropriate in accordance with the risk based examination criteria set forth in section 25 of this chapter.

Unless the nonprofit corporation receives other public money that would qualify the nonprofit corporation for a full examination of all accounts and financial affairs of the entity under subsection (c)(2), an examination of a charter school or organizer of a charter school must be limited to matters relevant to the use of the public money received for the charter school. This subsection does not prohibit the state examiner, personally or through the deputy examiners, field examiners, or private examiners, from examining the accounts in which appropriations, public funds, taxes, or other sources of public money are applied that are received by a nonprofit corporation as a charter school or organizer of a charter school relating to the operation of the charter school.
