Part V. Texas County and District Retirement System

Chapter 103. Calculations or Types of Benefits

34 TAC §103.7

The Texas County and District Retirement System adopts an amendment to §103.7, concerning the determination of the amount of reestablished credit in the retirement system following the redeposit of amounts previously withdrawn by the member. The amendment is adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the May 14, 1999, issue of the Texas Register (24TexReg3686). The amendment excludes repayments of amounts transferred from a local pension system and the accumulated interest earned by such amounts in the computation for determining the amount of reestablished credit. Including such amounts in the computation could produce a greater benefit than would be produced if the member's credit had never been canceled. These excluded amounts will be credited to the redepositing member's individual account but will have no effect on the computation of the member's reestablished current service credit or multiple matching credit, unless a merger agreement provides otherwise.

No comments were received from the public regarding adoption of the amendment.

The amendment is adopted under the Government Code, Chapter 845, §845.102, which provides the board of trustees of the Texas County and District Retirement System with the authority to adopt rules necessary or desirable for efficient administration of the system.

The Government Code, §843.403, is affected by this amendment.

This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.

Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on June 28, 1999.
