§ 25005 Defined Benefit Supplement Interest Rates

Key Takeaways

  • •The board sets an interest rate every year for the Defined Benefit Supplement Program.
  • •The interest rate can't be lower than the rate used in the Defined Benefit Program.
  • •Interest is added to your account every day, based on your current balance.
  • •Once your money is moved to the Annuitant Reserve, it stops earning this interest.

Example

If you have $10,000 in your Defined Benefit Supplement account and the board sets the interest rate at 3% for the year.

Your account will earn interest every day based on the 3% rate. This means your money will grow a little bit each day. But if you move your money to the Annuitant Reserve, it won't earn this interest anymore.
