a. In the case of any officer, noncommissioned officer or trooper of the Division of State Police of the Department of Law and Public Safety of the State of New Jersey becoming a member of the retirement system who was covered on the day immediately prior to July 1, 1965 under the then existing group life insurance program of the New Jersey State Police, the State Treasurer shall provide for death benefit coverage, in the amount described in this subsection for such member after he retires and receives a retirement allowance pursuant to the provisions of this act, subject to the conditions hereinafter stated. (1) In order to obtain the coverage during retirement as herein provided, the member must make written request therefor to the retirement system within 90 days of July 1, 1965 and must agree to make, after retirement, the contributions required for such coverage as described by subsection c. of this section, except that if any such officer, noncommissioned officer or trooper was disabled on July 1, 1965 but subsequently recovers from such disability and becomes a member of the retirement system, such request may be made within 90 days after the date he becomes a member of the retirement system. (2) Each such officer, noncommissioned officer and trooper may cancel his request for the death benefit coverage described herein, either before or after retirement, by giving written notice to the retirement system. The amounts of death benefits provided for under this subsection while the former member is receiving a retirement allowance pursuant to this act shall be the same amount or amounts as would have been continued for such former member after his retirement under the group life insurance program, hereinabove referred to, had such program remained in effect and unchanged and such former member had remained covered thereunder, less an amount equal to 1/2 of the member's final compensation. b. The State Treasurer shall provide on and after July 1, 1965 for death benefit coverage in the amounts described in this subsection for each former officer, noncommissioned officer and trooper who was covered on the day immediately prior to July 1, 1965 under the then existing group life insurance program of the New Jersey State Police and was then retired and receiving retirement benefits under the provisions of the former State Police Retirement and Benevolent Fund, subject to the conditions hereinafter stated: (1) In order to obtain the death benefit coverage as herein provided, such former officer, noncommissioned officer or trooper must make the contributions required for such coverage as described in subsection c. of this section. (2) If coverage or benefits are afforded a former officer, noncommissioned officer or trooper under the aforesaid group life insurance program of the New Jersey State Police after July 1, 1965 by reason of his disability, the death benefits provided by this subsection shall in no event apply to him unless such coverage and benefits shall cease by reason of his recovery from disability. In such event the foregoing provisions of this subsection shall apply from the date of such cessation. The amounts of death benefit continued under this subsection shall be the same amount or amounts as would have been continued for such former officer, noncommissioned officer or trooper after his retirement under the group life insurance program, hereinabove referred to, had such program remained in effect and unchanged during his retirement and he had remained covered thereunder. c. The contributions required during retirement for the death benefit coverage provided for by this section shall be determined from the schedules of contributions established by the retirement system. Such contributions shall be deducted from the former officer's, noncommissioned officer's or trooper's retirement allowance or benefits but if there be no retirement allowance or benefits available from which such contributions may be deducted, it shall be the obligation of such former officer, noncommissioned officer or trooper to make such contribution directly to the retirement system, as required by the system. d. Upon receipt of proper proofs of the death of any former officer, noncommissioned officer or trooper of the New Jersey State Police while covered for death benefit coverage pursuant to the provisions of this section, there shall be paid to such former officer's, noncommissioned officer's or trooper's beneficiary, the amount for which he is covered at the time of his death pursuant to said subsection a. or said subsection b., as the case may be. e. Any other provision of this act notwithstanding, the contributions of any person for death benefit coverage under this section shall not be returnable to such person or his beneficiary or death benefit payee in any manner, or for any reason whatsoever, nor shall such contributions be included in any annuity payable to any such person or his beneficiary.

N.J. Stat. § 53:5A-8 — NJ Code / Title 53 / Chapter 5A / Section 5A-8
Retirement for age and service; benefits.
Status: in_force

8. a. The Legislature finds and declares that the public health, safety and welfare require the ongoing health and fitness of all members of the New Jersey State Police so that they may safely and efficiently protect the public. The Legislature further finds and declares that such continued health and fitness cannot be determined except with reference to age, and therefore finds and concludes that retirement of all members of the State Police at age 55, except as provided for in subsection c. of this section, shall constitute a bona fide occupational qualification which is reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the State Police, which qualification the Legislature hereby promulgates and establishes. b. Any member of the retirement system may retire on a service retirement allowance upon having established at least 20 years of creditable service in the retirement system, which includes the creditable service of those members appointed to the Division of State Police under section 3 of P.L.1983, c.403 (C.39:2-9.3) and the creditable service of those members appointed to the Division of State Police under section 1 of P.L.1997, c.19 (C.53:1-8.2). Upon the filing of a written and duly executed application with the retirement system, setting forth at what time, not less than one month subsequent to the filing thereof, he desires to be retired, any such member retiring for service shall receive a service retirement allowance which shall consist of: (1) An annuity which shall be the actuarial equivalent of his aggregate contributions; and (2) A pension in the amount which, when added to the member's annuity, will provide a total retirement allowance of 50% of his final compensation. c. Except for the Superintendent of State Police, any member of the retirement system, including a member appointed to the State Police under section 3 of P.L.1983, c.403 (C.39:2-9.3) and a member appointed to the State Police under section 1 of P.L.1997, c.19 (C.53:1-8.2), who has attained the age of 55 years, shall be retired forthwith on the first day of the next calendar month following the effective date of this 1985 amendatory act. Any member of the retirement system so retired shall receive a service retirement allowance pursuant to this section or section 27 of P.L.1965, c.89 (C.53:5A-27), as appropriate. d. Any member of the retirement system who is required to retire pursuant to subsection c. of this section and who has more than 20 but fewer than 25 years of creditable service at the time of retirement shall be entitled to continued health benefits coverage during retirement as provided in the "New Jersey State Health Benefits Program Act," P.L.1961, c.49 (C.52:14-17.25 et seq.). Notwithstanding the provisions of section 8 of P.L.1961, c.49 (C.52:14-17.32), or any other law enacted prior to the effective date of P.L.2018, c.63 requiring persons who have retired from public employment to make contributions toward the cost of health care benefits coverage in retirement, to the contrary, the State shall pay in full the premium or periodic charge for the benefits provided under this subsection to a member retiring under subsection c. of this section with fewer than 25 years of service credited in the retirement system, and the member's dependents covered under the program, but not including survivors. This provision shall be the sole provision applicable to these specified members of the retirement system with regard to the obligations of the State for the payment of premiums and periodic charges and any contributions toward the cost of health care benefits coverage during retirement for a retired member and the member's dependents. e. Any member of the retirement system as of the effective date of P.L.1985, c.175 who is required to retire pursuant to subsection c. of this section shall be entitled to the retirement allowance provided for by subsection b. of this section, notwithstanding that the member shall have fewer than 20 years' creditable service. f. Any member of the retirement system as of the effective date of P.L.1985, c.175 who is required to retire pursuant to subsection c. of this section and who has more than 20 but less than 25 years of creditable service at the time of retirement shall be entitled to the retirement allowance provided for by subsection b. of this section plus 3% of his final compensation multiplied by the number of years of creditable service over 20 but not over 25. g. Upon the receipt of proper proofs of the death of a member who has retired on a service retirement allowance, there shall be paid to the member's beneficiary an amount equal to one-half of the final compensation received by the member.

20. a. In any investigation, interview, or other proceeding conducted under oath by the division or any duly authorized officer, employee, or agent thereof, if a person refuses to answer a question or produce evidence of any other kind on the ground that the person may be incriminated thereby, and notwithstanding the refusal, an order is made upon 24 hours' prior written notice to the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey, and to the appropriate district attorney or prosecutor having an official interest therein, by the Superintendent of the division or the superintendent's designee, that the person answer the question or produce the evidence, the person shall comply with the order. If the person complies with the order, and if, but for this section, would have been privileged to withhold the answer given or the evidence produced by the person, then immunity shall be conferred upon the person, as provided for herein. Immunity shall not be conferred upon any person except in accordance with the provisions of this section. If, after compliance with the provisions of this section, a person is ordered to answer a question or produce evidence of any other kind and complies with the order, and it is thereafter determined that the Attorney General or appropriate district attorney or prosecutor having an official interest therein was not notified, that failure or neglect shall not deprive that person of any immunity otherwise properly conferred upon the person. But the person may nevertheless be prosecuted or subjected to penalty or forfeiture for any perjury or contempt committed in answering, or failing to answer, or in producing or failing to produce evidence, in accordance with the order, and any answer given or evidence produced shall be admissible against the person upon any criminal proceeding concerning such perjury or contempt. b.

Any temporary permit shall be valid for a period not in excess of 30 days. e.

Subject to the limitations of this act, the board of trustees shall annually establish rules and regulations for the administration of the funds created by this act and for the transactions of the board's and committee's business. Such rules and regulations shall be consistent with those adopted by the other pension funds within the Division of Pensions and Benefits in order to permit the most economical and uniform administration of all such retirement systems. The committee shall adopt such regulations as provided in subsection o. of this section. i. The actuary of the fund shall be selected by the Retirement Systems Actuary Selection Committee established by P.L.1992, c.125.

The members of the committee shall not be appointed until the system attains the target funded ratio. The members of the committee shall serve for a term of three years and until a successor is appointed and qualified. Of the initial appointments by the Governor, two members shall serve for two years and until a successor is appointed and qualified, and one shall serve for one year and until a successor is appointed and qualified.

The committee shall keep a record of all of its proceedings which shall be open to public inspection.

The committee may contract with such actuaries or consultants, or both, in accordance with the provisions of P.L.1954, c.48 (C.52:34-6 et seq.), as the committee may deem necessary to perform its duties, when the system has attained the target funded ratio. When the retirement system has attained the target funded ratio as defined in section 27 of P.L.2011, c.78 (C.43:3C-16), the committee shall have the discretionary authority for the system to (1) modify the: member contribution rate; formula for calculation of final compensation or final salary; age at which a member may be eligible for and the benefits for service or special retirement; and benefits provided for disability retirement; and (2) activate the application of the "Pension Adjustment Act," P.L.1958, c.143 (C.43:3B-1 et seq.) for retirees for the period that the system is at or above the target funded ratio and modify the basis for the calculation of the adjustment and set the duration and extent of the activation. The committee shall give priority consideration to subparagraph (2) of this paragraph. The committee shall not have the authority to change the years of creditable service required for vesting. The committee may consider a matter described above and render a decision notwithstanding that the provisions of the statutory law may set forth a specific requirement on that matter. The committee may consider a matter described above and render a decision notwithstanding that the provisions of the statutory law do not set forth a specific requirement on the considered aspect of that matter or address that matter at all. The members of the committee shall have the same duty and responsibility to the retirement system as do the members of the board of trustees. No decision of the committee shall be implemented if the direct or indirect result of the decision will be that the system's funded ratio falls below the target funded ratio in any valuation period during the 30 years following the implementation of the decision. The actuary of the fund shall make a determination of the result in that regard and submit that determination in a written report to the committee and the board prior to the implementation of the decision. If any matter before the committee receives at least five votes in the affirmative, the board of trustees shall approve and implement the committee's decision. If any matter regarding benefits before the committee receives four votes in the affirmative and four votes in the negative or the committee otherwise reaches an impasse on a decision, the provisions of section 33 of P.L.2011, c.78 (C.43:3C-17) shall be followed. A final action of the committee shall be made by the adoption of a regulation that shall identify the modifications to the system by reference to statutory section. The regulations shall also specify the effective date of the modification and the system members, including beneficiaries and retirees, to whom the modification applies. Regulations of the committee are considered to be part of the plan document for the system. A regulation adopted by the committee may be modified by regulation in order to comply with the requirements of this section. p. No member of the board, committee, employee of the board, or employee of the Division of Pensions and Benefits in the Department of the Treasury shall accept from any person, whether directly or indirectly and whether by himself or through his spouse or any member of his family, or through any partner or associate, any gift, favor, service, employment or offer of employment, or any other thing of value, including contributions to the campaign of a member or employee as a candidate for elective public office, which he knows or has reason to believe is offered to him with intent to influence him in the performance of his public duties and responsibilities.

Any period of time, which is determined for the giving of notice shall commence to run from the date of mailing of the notice. (4) Whenever any person shall fail to pay, within the time limited herein, any assessment which the person is required to pay to the division under the provisions of this section, the division may enforce payment of the assessment by civil action for the amount of the assessment with interest and penalties. (5) The employment by a nonresident of a longshoreman, or a licensed pier superintendent, hiring agent, or port watchman in this State or the designation by a nonresident of a longshoreman, pier superintendent, hiring agent, or port watchman to perform work in this State shall be deemed equivalent to an appointment by the nonresident of the Secretary of State to be the nonresident's true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served the process in any action or proceeding against the nonresident growing out of any liability for assessments, penalties, or interest, and a consent that any process against the nonresident which is served shall be of the same legal force and validity as if served personally within the State and within the territorial jurisdiction of the court from which the process issues.

(7) In addition to any other powers authorized hereunder, the division shall have power to make reasonable rules and regulations, pursuant to the provisions of the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), to effectuate the purposes of this section. (8) Any person who shall willfully fail to pay any assessment due hereunder shall be assessed interest at a rate of one percent per month on the amount due and unpaid and penalties of five percent of the amount due for each 30 days or part thereof that the assessment remains unpaid. The division may, for good cause shown, abate all or part of that penalty. (9) Any person who shall willfully furnish false or fraudulent information or shall willfully fail to furnish pertinent information, as required, with respect to the amount of assessment due, shall be guilty of a disorderly persons offense.
