AB 1878 California Assembly · 2015-2016 Regular Session

Public Employees' Retirement System: state or school members: postretirement death benefit.

Summary

The Public Employees' Retirement Law requires that, upon the death of any state or school member after retirement and while receiving a retirement allowance, the sum of $2,000 be paid to the member's designated beneficiary, as specified. Existing law provides that the additional employer contributions required to fund this benefit be computed as a level percentage of member compensation, and these are deposited in the Public Employees' Retirement Fund, a continuously appropriated fund. This bill would authorize the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System, beginning on or after January 1, 2017, to adjust the death benefit amount following each actuarial valuation to reflect changes in the All Urban California Consumer Price Index, as specified. By authorizing the board to increase contributions deposited in the Public Employees' Retirement Fund, this bill would make an appropriation.
