The delegation may allow county departments to negotiate the purchase of services for patients, residents, or clients with funds appropriated for this purpose. In accepting this delegated authority the department acknowledges its ability to, and agrees to, fulfill all of the requirements of this chapter in making purchases and entering into contracts and keeping records. No claim for payment based upon any purchase under this section shall be certified by the commission unless accompanied by such documentation of compliance with the provisions of this chapter as the commission may require.

2. The normal annuity of a retired member who is also a member of LAGERS shall be sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the normal annuity determined pursuant to subsection 1 of this section.
3. As provided in subsection 1 of section 50.1150, the normal annuity of a member shall not be less than the annuity the member had earned as of the day before January 1, 2000, under the terms of the retirement system in effect on that date.
4. The board may recommend to the general assembly adjustments to the formulas described in this section, provided:
(1) The recommended adjustment to the formula is actuarially feasible; and
(2) The adjustment does not reduce the annuity a member had earned as of the date of the adjustment; provided, however, that the provisions of section 50.1010 apply and the board is authorized to apportion benefits if funds are not available to pay accrued benefits.

50.1110. Options in lieu of normal annuity, election — survivorship benefit. —
1. The normal annuity of a member shall be paid to a member during his or her lifetime. Upon the member's death no further payments shall be made.
2. In lieu of the normal annuity otherwise payable to a member, the member may elect in the member's application for retirement to receive the actuarial equivalent of the member's normal annuity in reduced monthly payments for life during retirement with the provision that upon the member's death, either one hundred percent, seventy-five percent or fifty percent of the reduced normal annuity, as elected by the member, shall be continued throughout the life of and paid to the member's beneficiary.
3. The election may be made only in the application for retirement and such application shall be filed prior to the date on which the retirement of the member is to be effective. A member shall not be permitted to change the form of benefit elected or the designated beneficiary after benefits commence to him, even if the designated beneficiary dies before the member.
4. If a member dies after completing eight or more years of creditable service, the surviving spouse shall be entitled to survivorship benefits under the fifty-percent annuity option as set forth in this section. If the member was age sixty-two or older at death, the surviving spouse's benefit will commence the first day of the month following the member's death. If the member was under age sixty-two at death, the surviving spouse's benefits will commence on the first day of the month following the date the member would have attained age sixty-two had the member lived. Alternatively, the surviving spouse may elect to receive the actuarial equivalent benefit payable on the first day of any month following the date of the member's death and prior to the date the member would have attained age sixty-two, reduced for early commencement.
5. Actuarial equivalence shall be determined in accordance with assumptions adopted by the board after consulting with the actuary of the retirement system.
6. If a member dies prior to retirement and after completing eight or more years of
*
service and there is no surviving spouse, the member's designated beneficiary shall be entitled to receive a refund of the member's contributions under section 50.1040. If there is no designated beneficiary, the contributions shall be paid to the member's estate.

1. Upon termination of employment, any member with less than eight years of creditable service shall forfeit all rights in the fund, including the member's accrued creditable service as of the date of the member's termination of employment, but may receive any refund of contributions to which the member is entitled pursuant to subsection 3 of this section or subsection 1 of section 50.1130.

If the member begins receiving an annuity before age sixty-two and termination of employment occurs on or after age fifty-five, the annuity shall be reduced by four-tenths of one percent for each month the commencement date of the annuity precedes age sixty-two, and an additional three-tenths of one percent for each month the commencement date of the annuity precedes age sixty.
3. In the event a member ceases to be a member other than by death before the date the member becomes vested in the system, the member shall be paid, upon his or her written application filed with the board, the member's accumulated contributions standing to his or her credit in the members' deposit fund.
4. A former member who has forfeited creditable service may have the creditable service restored by again becoming an employee, completing a total of eight years of uninterrupted creditable service, and purchasing the forfeited service by paying into the fund the forfeited amount previously refunded to the participant or credited to the participant's county plus interest equal to the current prime rate plus two percent.
