2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 11 - Consolidated Public Retirement|§1939. Persons not properly enrolled or properly contributing as members

RS 1939 - Persons not properly enrolled or properly contributing as members A. Any person whose membership in the system was a mandatory condition of employment but was not enrolled as a member due to administrative error, may upon application receive credit for the time such person was otherwise eligible for membership. The person's employer shall certify the inclusive dates of employment and the salary earned by the member during these dates, or the person shall submit such other evidence in lieu thereof as shall be requested by the board. The person, his employer, and any other person submitting evidence on his behalf, shall certify all evidence by an affidavit in authentic form. Should any facts or evidence not be true which would disqualify him from benefits, the person shall lose all rights to any benefits from this system. In order to receive this credit the person and the employer shall pay the greater of: an amount equal to the employee and employer contributions which would have been paid had the person been enrolled at the time of employment, plus interest as determined by the board, which shall be not less than the system's actuarial valuation rate compounded annually, or an amount which, on an actuarial basis, totally offsets the increase in accrued liability of the system resulting from the receipt of the credit by the person. The amount payable shall be calculated by use of the actuarial funding method, assumptions, and tables in use by the system at the time of the person's application for credit. B. Any member who was properly enrolled, but who was not contributing on his full rate of compensation due to administrative error, may upon application receive credit for the amount of earnings which would otherwise be used to determine the member's final compensation. The member's employer shall certify the inclusive dates of employment and the salary earned by the member during these dates. The member, his employer, and any other person submitting evidence on the member's behalf, shall certify all evidence by an affidavit in authentic form. In order to receive this credit the member and the employer shall pay the greater of: an amount equal to the employee and employer contributions which would have been paid using the member's correct rate of compensation at the time such compensation was received by the member, plus interest at the current system actuarial valuation rate, or an amount which, on an actuarial basis, totally offsets the increase in accrued liability of the system resulting from the receipt of the credit by the person. The amount payable shall be calculated by use of the actuarial funding method, assumptions, and tables in use by the system at the time of the member's application for credit. A member who does not purchase the additional credit relative to his full rate of compensation shall be given full eligibility service credit, however, he shall be given pro rata service credit based on the percentage of salary reported to the retirement system relative to his full rate of compensation for benefit computation purposes.
