§ 24614 Retired Teacher Pension Supplement

Key Takeaways

  • •This rule only applies to small school districts (with less than 200,000 students) that stopped their own retirement plan for teachers.
  • •If a teacher retired before the district stopped its retirement plan, the district must pay them extra money every month to make up the difference between what they were getting before and what they get now.
  • •The extra money comes from a special savings fund the district already has, not from a new retirement plan.
  • •This extra payment doesn’t count as part of the state’s retirement system and won’t change how much the teacher gets from the state.

Example

A small school district stops its own retirement plan for teachers. Mrs. Smith, a retired teacher, was getting $2,000 a month from the district’s old plan. After the plan stops, she starts getting $1,500 a month from the state’s retirement system.

The district must pay Mrs. Smith an extra $500 every month to make up the difference. This extra $500 comes from a special savings fund the district already set aside. It doesn’t affect her state retirement money.

§ 24614 Retired Teacher Pension Supplement

(a) This section shall only be applicable to a district retirement salary plan in a unified district presently having an average daily attendance of less than 200,000 pupils and which was discontinued by the governing board of the district. (b) The district shall continue to pay monthly to teachers and other persons who were retired prior to the date of the discontinuance an amount equal to the amount by which the retirement allowance to which any of the retired teachers or other persons were entitled under the district plan exceeds the increase in the teacher’s or other person’s retirement allowance under this part resulting from the discontinuance. The arrangement under which those amounts are paid by the district shall not be considered to be a local retirement system for the purposes of this part, nor shall those amounts be taken into account in the calculation of retirement allowances under this part. (c) The reserve fund created by the district from the assets delivered to it by the discontinued district retirement plan under subdivision (c) of former Section 14690 prior to its repeal is continued in existence and the amounts payable under subdivision (b) of this section shall be paid from that reserve fund. (Amended by Stats. 1996, Ch. 634, Sec. 271. Effective January 1, 1997.)
