RS 1975 - Survivor benefits; eligibility A. Any member of Plan C with ten or more years of creditable service and not eligible for normal retirement at the time of his death, who leaves a surviving spouse who is not eligible for social security survivorship or retirement benefits and who has been married to the member for not less than twelve months immediately preceding his death, shall be deemed to have exercised Option 2 benefits until he becomes eligible for social security survivorship or retirement benefits or until he remarries; however, no such benefits shall be paid until the surviving spouse attains the age of fifty. Any surviving spouse who meets the above qualifications, except for survivorship benefits due to minor children, shall become eligible for benefits under this Section when he ceases to receive social security benefits due to ineligibility. The method of calculating such retirement benefits shall be on the same basis as provided in this Part. B. Any member of Plan C who is eligible for normal retirement at the time of his death, and who leaves a surviving spouse shall be deemed to have exercised Option 2 benefits on behalf of his surviving spouse, who shall be paid such benefits just as though the member had retired and elected Option 2 benefits prior to his death. C. In the case of a death of a member occurring on or after January 1, 2007, while performing qualified military service, as defined in Section 414(u) of the Internal Revenue Code, eligibility for survivor benefits under this Section shall be determined as if the member had resumed employment and then terminated employment on account of death. The retirement system will credit the member's qualified military service as service for vesting purposes and for eligibility computation purposes as though the member, if eligible to, had met the definition of employee under the retirement system and had resumed employment under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (Chapter 43 of Title 38, United States Code) immediately prior to the member's death. The time spent by the member in unqualified military service shall not count for benefit accrual purposes (creditable service) but will count only for eligibility purposes under this Section.

RS 2172 - Amendment of plan  A. The provisions of the pension and relief fund established by R.S. 11:2171 through 2184 may be amended by action of the legislature in the same manner as any other statute may be amended by the legislature.

In the case of any merger or consolidation with, or transfer of assets or liabilities to, any other pension and relief fund or retirement system, each member in the pension and relief fund would, if the pension and relief fund is then terminated, receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer, if the pension and relief fund had then terminated.  C. Upon the termination or partial termination of the pension and relief fund or upon the discontinuance of contributions by the employer without formal termination of the pension and relief fund, the board of trustees shall re-value and re-determine the benefit of each member; and the entire benefit of each member may be paid or commence to be paid and distributed to such member, or in the case of his death before such distribution, to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by such member, or may be held until payment otherwise due under the provisions of the pension and relief fund. A member's right to his benefit is not conditioned upon a sufficiency of plan assets in the event of termination.
