Statute text

(a)The proceeds of the Supplemental Benefit Maintenance Account shall be distributed annually in quarterly supplemental payments commencing on September 1, 1990, to retired members, disabled members, and beneficiaries, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 22107. The amount available for distribution in a fiscal year pursuant to this section shall not exceed the amount necessary to restore purchasing power up to 85 percent of the purchasing power of the base allowance, after the application of all allowance increases authorized by this part, including those specified in Section 24412, and excluding those provided pursuant to Sections 24410.5, 24410.6, 24410.7, and 24410.8.

(b)The net revenues to be distributed shall be allocated among those retired members, disabled members, and beneficiaries, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 22107, whose allowances, after sequentially applying the annual improvement factor as defined in Sections 22140 and 22141, and the annual supplemental payment as specified in Section 24412, have the lowest purchasing power percentage. The purchasing power calculation for each individual shall be based on the change in the All Urban California Consumer Price Index between June of the calendar year of retirement and June of the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year of distribution. In any year in which the purchasing power of the allowances of all retired members, disabled members, and beneficiaries, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 22107, equals not less than 85 percent and additional funds remain from the allocation authorized by this section, those funds shall remain in the Supplemental Benefit Maintenance Account for allocation in future years.

(c)The allowance increase shall not be applicable to annuities payable from the accumulated annuity deposit contributions or the accumulated tax-sheltered annuity contributions.
