A. General Information about the Pension Plan (Continued)

For members hired prior to July 1, 2010, an annuity comprised of the following applicable annuities:

  • A current service municipal annuity equal to one and twenty five hundredths percent (1.25%) of the member's final salary multiplied by all years of credited service rendered by the member subsequent to January 1, 2005.
  • A prior service municipal annuity equal to one percent (1.0%) of the member's final salary multiplied by all years of credited service rendered by the member between January 1, 2005 and January 1, 1975.
  • An additional prior service municipal annuity equal to four tenths percent (0.4%) of the annual average compensation earned during the five years immediately preceding January 1, 1975 or, if not so long employed, then the average annual compensation earned and paid during the whole period of such employment times all years of credited service rendered by the member between January 1, 1975 and January 1, 1963.
  • An additional prior service municipal annuity equal to four tenths percent (0.4%) of the annual average compensation earned during the year prior to January 1, 1963 or, if not so long employed, then the average annual compensation earned and paid during the whole period of such employment times all years of credited service rendered by the member between January 1, 1953 and January 1, 1963.
  • A member’s annuity equal to a single life annuity starting on the effective date of retirement with a present value equal to the accumulated member contributions, regular interest on the member contributions, and any excess interest that may be credited to the member’s account.

Supplemental benefits are derived from employee contributions and interest earnings of the fund. A retiree may elect to receive a reduced amount of benefit and provide a death benefit in the form of annuity or lump sum to the designated beneficiary. The plan also provides death and disability benefits for an active employee.

The Plan did not include an assumption for projected ad hoc postemployment benefit changes as they are not considered to be substantively automatic.

Administrative costs, including the investment manager, custodial trustee, and actuarial services are charged to the plan and funded through investment earnings.
