§ 31682 County Retirement Benefit Election

Key Takeaways

  • •This law lets certain small counties give retired workers and their families an extra $108.44 every month on top of their regular retirement pay.
  • •Before giving this extra money, the county must figure out how much it will cost forever and have a math expert (actuary) do the calculation.
  • •The county leaders (board of supervisors) must vote and agree to start this extra payment before it can happen.

Example

A retired school teacher in a small county gets her monthly retirement check. One day, she gets an extra $108.44 in her bank account.

The county decided to give all retired workers like her this extra money every month. They made sure they had enough money to keep paying it forever before they started.
