§ 22907 Retirement Contribution Adjustments

Key Takeaways

  • •If your birth date is wrong in the retirement system after 1979, your retirement money will be fixed.
  • •If you paid too much because of the wrong birth date, you can get the extra money back with interest.
  • •If you paid too little because of the wrong birth date, you have to pay the missing amount with interest.

Example

A teacher's birth date was recorded as 1960 instead of 1965. This mistake made it seem like she was older, so she paid more into her retirement fund.

The teacher can get the extra money she paid back, plus interest, because her birth date was wrong.
