				earned hours of service.

				  calendar month following written notice to the board (or its delegatee). At the

				  following his or her early retirement and preceding the Participantst's
				  sixty-second birthday. Such early retirement benefit of a Participantst shall
				  be payable to him/her as the normal form of benefit, and shall equal the
				  greater of the actuarial equivalent of his or her accrued benefit or his or her
				  accrued benefit as of his or her annuity starting date, reduced by four-tenths

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule describes the benefits available
				  to the beneficiaries of Participantsts who die before receiving a retirement
				  benefit.
(1) Lump Sum Death
				Benefit. A death benefit of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and, in the case of
				an active Participantst who dies after December 31, 2002, and before becoming
				vested, an amount equal to the amount of the Participantst's accumulated
				contributions standing to his or her credit in the fund shall be paid to the
				beneficiary of every active Participantst upon his or her death or, if the
				Participantst fails to designate a beneficiary, then to the Participantst's
				surviving spouse or, if there is no spouse, then in equal shares to the
				Participantst's surviving children. If there is neither a surviving spouse nor
				surviving children, then the benefit shall be paid to the active
				Participantst's estate. Payment of any such amounts shall be subject to the
				terms and conditions herein.
(A) Designation
				of Beneficiary. Each Participantst may name a beneficiary on a form provided by
				the board and delivered to the board. Such designation may include more than
				one (1) person with one (1) or more secondary or contingent beneficiaries and
				shall be subject to change upon written request of such Participantst in the
				same manner as the original designation. A dissolution or annulment of a
				Participantst's marriage subsequent to the date of designation of a beneficiary
				shall not revoke or otherwise affect such designation.
(B) If the Participantst executes a
				beneficiary designation form and lists more than one (1) beneficiary but fails
				to list the percentage of benefit that each beneficiary should receive, then
				the benefit shall be divided equally among the named beneficiaries.
(C) Any death benefit that may become payable
				in accordance with section (1), and any refund of a Participantst's accumulated
				contributions in the case of an active Participantst who dies after December
				31, 2002, and before becoming vested in accordance with section (1), shall be
				made after the receipt by the board or its designee of a notice of death from
				such Participantst's employer or such other form of proof acceptable to the
				board. Such death benefit and any refund, as applicable, shall be made in a
				single sum as soon as administratively feasible following receipt of the notice
				of death by the board or its designee. For purposes of this section, it shall
				not be administratively feasible for the board or its designee to disburse a
				death benefit or refund until the board or its designee also receives proper
				verification and reconciled contribution information from the
				employer.

				who worked for an employer for at least eight (8) years may apply to the board
				to serve as a special consultant on the problems of retirement. Calculation of
				the amount required to purchase the prior service shall be in accordance with
				applicable statutes. The former employee must submit at least fifty percent
				(50%) of the purchase price with his or her application to serve as a special
				consultant. If the former employee submits less than one hundred percent (100%)
				of the purchase price with his or her application, then the remainder of the
				purchase price shall be deducted from the consultant's retirement benefits in
				equal monthly installments as agreed by the board and the consultant. Such
				payments shall not extend over more than four (4) years.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The secretary of state has
				  determined that the publication of the entire text of the material which is
				  incorporated by reference as a portion of this rule would be unduly cumbersome
				  or expensive. This material as incorporated by reference in this rule shall be
				  maintained by the agency at its headquarters and shall be made available to the
				  public for inspection and copying at no more than the actual cost of
				  reproduction. This note applies only to the reference material. The entire text

				Compensation to his or her seed account. This contribution shall be made by
				payroll deduction. Contributions shall commence immediately upon the date the
				individual becomes an Employee (or January 1, 2000, if later). The seed
				contribution shall be designated as an employee "pick-up" contribution, as
				described in section 414(h)(2) of the Code. A Participantst may not waive this
				contribution requirement by opting out of the Plan.
(2) Board Matching Contribution. The Board,
				in its sole discretion, shall determine if it will make Board matching
				contributions for a Plan Year and the aggregate amount of the contribution.

				which the contribution is made. Each Qualified Participantst (as defined in
				section (3) below) who makes contributions to the 457 Plan during the Plan Year
				for which the Board matching contribution is made shall be eligible to receive
				an allocation of this Board matching contribution. Generally, the Board shall
				allocate Board matching contributions

to the
				Qualified Participantst's Board matching account, on the basis of a Qualified
				Participantst's contributions to the 457 Plan. However, the Board shall follow
				these rules in making this allocation-

				contributions to the 457 Plan, or iii) the matching percentage designated by
				the Board for the Plan Year, multiplied by the Qualified Participantst's
				contributions to the 457 Plan for the Plan Year.

PURPOSE: This rule describes the timing and form of
				  benefit payments from the defined contribution plan.
(1) Eligibility for Payment. Generally,
				distribution to a Participantst of his or her vested Account shall be made no

				withdrawal of all or a portion of his or her Board matching account, his or her
				Employer matching account, and his or her rollover account before Separation
				from Service after attainment of age fifty-nine and a half (59 1/2). Such

				Participantst may request a distribution due to Hardship by submitting a
				request to the Board (or its designee) in such form as may be permitted by the
				Board (or its designee). The Board (or its designee) shall have the authority
				to require such evidence as it deems necessary to determine if a distribution

				approved, the distribution is limited to the lesser of-
(A) An amount sufficient to meet the need;
				or
(B) The amount held in the
				Participantst's Account, including all subaccounts, to the extent the
				Participantst is vested in such amounts.

				  pay any federal, state, or local income taxes (including withholding) or
				  penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. The allowed
				  distribution shall be paid in a single sum to the Participantst as soon as
				  administratively feasible after approval of such distribution.

				shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary, and amend or revoke such
				designation at any time, in writing. Such designation, amendment, or revocation
				shall be effective upon receipt by the Board (or its designee).
(3) Failure to Designate a Beneficiary. If no
				designated Beneficiary survives the Participantst (or if no Beneficiary
				designation has been received or approved by the Board) and benefits are
				payable following the Participantst's death, the Board shall direct that
				payment of benefits be made to-
(A) The spouse
				of the Participantst; or
(B) The
				Participantst's estate.

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule describes when a Participantst
				  vests in his or her defined contribution plan account.
(1) Vesting. A Participantst's interest in
				his or her Board matching account and Employer matching account shall become
				fully vested and nonforfeitable upon his or her completion of five (5) Years of
				Service, or upon the Participantst's death (if the Participantst dies before
				his or her Separation from Service). A Participantst shall always be one
				hundred percent (100%) vested in his or her seed and rollover
				accounts.
(2) "Years of Service"
				means the total time of an Employee's employment as a county employee with any
				Employer, measured in years. With respect to county employment before January
				1, 2000, Years of Service shall be the Participantst's creditable service, as
				determined in accordance with section
				50.1090,
				RSMo, and regulations issued under the authority of that section, unless that
				period is excluded under section (3). With respect to county employment on or
				after January 1, 2000, the Participantst shall receive credit for a Year of
				Service for each Plan Year in which he/she completes one thousand (1,000) Hours
				of Service, unless that period is excluded under section (3). Additionally, a
				period of employment in a uniformed service (as defined in the Uniformed
				Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994) shall constitute Years
				of Service, if the Participantst was an Employee before his or her employment
				in the uniformed service and he/she returns to employment with an Employer
				before his or her reemployment rights under the statute expire.
(3) The following periods do not constitute
				Years of Service, regardless of any provision in this rule
				16 CSR
				50-10.070 to the contrary:
(A) A Plan Year beginning on or after January
				1, 2000, in which an Employee earns less than one thousand (1,000) Hours of
				Service; and
(B) A rehired
				Employee's period of employment before his or her immediately preceding
				Separation from Service, unless the Participantst was either:
i) vested in his or her matching account at
				the time of the Separation from Service, ii) if his or her Separation from
				Service occurred before January 1, 2000, the Participantst was fully vested
				within the meaning of section
				50.1140(1),
				RSMo, at the time of the Separation from
				Service, or iii) such prior period is determined to be part of the
				Participantst's creditable service, in accordance with section
				50.1090,
				RSMo, and regulations issued under the authority of that section.

				Rights: Employment Relationship. Neither the establishment of this Plan nor any
				modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment
				of any benefits, nor any action taken thereunder nor any omission to act, shall

				the Plan.
(2) Benefits under this
				Plan may not be assigned, sold, transferred, or encumbered, and any attempt to

				Board does not represent or guarantee successful investment of the
				Participantst's Account and shall not be required to restore any loss which may
				result from such investment or lack of investment.

				jurisdiction holds any provision of this Chapter 10 to be invalid or
				unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Chapter shall continue to be
				fully effective.

				invested in default Investment Options selected by the Board, until such time
				as the Participantst submits an investment allocation request.
