97B.49 Monthly payments of allowance.

Each member, upon retirement on or after the member's normal retirement date, is entitled to receive a monthly retirement allowance determined under this section. For an inactive vested member the monthly retirement allowance shall be determined on the basis of this section and section 97B.50 as they are in effect on the date of the member's retirement.

1. For each active member employed before January 1, 1976, and retiring on or after January 1, 1976, and for each member who was a vested member before January 1, 1976, with four or more complete years of service, a formula benefit shall be determined equal to the larger of the benefit determined under this subsection and subsection 3 of this section as applicable, or the benefit determined under subsection 5 of this section. The amount of the monthly formula benefit for each such active or vested member who retired on or after January 1, 1976, shall be equal to one-twelfth of one and fifty-seven hundredths percent per year of membership service multiplied by the member's average annual covered wages; but in no case shall the amount of monthly formula benefit accrued for membership service prior to July 1, 1967, be less than the monthly annuity at the normal retirement date determined by applying the sum of the member's accumulated contributions, the member's employer's accumulated contributions on or before June 30, 1967, and any retirement dividends standing to the member's credit on or before December 31, 1966, to the annuity tables in use by the department with due regard to the benefits payable from such accumulated contributions under sections 97B.52 and 97B.53.

2. For each active and vested member retiring with less than four complete years of service and who therefore cannot have a benefit determined under the formula benefit of subsection 1 or subsection 5 of this section a monthly annuity for membership service shall be determined by applying the member's accumulated contributions and the employer's matching accumulated contributions as of the effective retirement date and any retirement dividends standing to the member's credit on or before December 31, 1966, to the annuity tables in use by the department according to the member's age.

3. For each member employed before January 1, 1976, who has qualified for prior service credit in accordance with the first paragraph of section 97B.43, there shall be determined a benefit of eight-tenths of one percent per year of prior service credit multiplied by the monthly rate of the member's total remuneration not in excess of three thousand dollars annually during the twelve consecutive months of the member's prior service for which that total remuneration was the highest. An additional three-tenths of one percent of the remuneration not in excess of three thousand dollars annually shall be payable for prior service during each year in which the accrued liability for benefit payments created by the abolished system is funded by appropriation from the Iowa public employees' retirement fund.

4. For each active member retiring on or after June 30, 1973, and who has completed ten or more years of membership service, the total amount of monthly benefit payable at the normal retirement date for prior service and membership service shall not be less than fifty dollars per month. If benefits commence on an early retirement date, the amount of benefit shall be reduced in accordance with section 97B.50. If an optional allowance is selected under section 97B.51, the amount payable shall be the actuarial equivalent of the minimum benefit. An employee who is in employment on a school year or academic year basis, will be considered to be an active member as of June 30, 1973, if the employee completes the 1972-1973 school year or academic year.

5. a. For each active or inactive vested member retiring on or after July 1, 1986, and before July 1, 1990, with four or more complete years of service, a monthly benefit shall be computed which is equal to one-twelfth of an amount equal to fifty percent of the three-year average covered wage multiplied by a fraction of years of service.

b. For each active or inactive vested member retiring on or after July 1, 1990, with four or more complete years of service, a monthly benefit shall be computed which is equal to one-twelfth of an amount equal to fifty-two percent of the three-year average covered wage multiplied by a fraction of years of service.

Commencing July 1, 1991, the department shall increase the percentage multiplier of the three-year average covered wage by an additional two percent each July 1 until reaching sixty percent of the three-year average covered wage if the annual actuarial valuation of the retirement system indicates for that year that the cost of this increase in the percentage of the three-year average covered wage used in computing retirement benefits can be absorbed within the employer and employee contribution rates in effect under section 97B.11. However, commencing July 1, 1994, if the annual actuarial valuation of the retirement system indicates that the employer and employee contribution rates in effect under section 97B.11 can absorb an increase in the percentage multiplier in excess of two percent, the department shall increase the percentage multiplier for that year beyond two percent to the extent which the increase can be absorbed by the contribution rates in effect, not to exceed a maximum percentage multiplier of sixty percent. The increase in the percentage multiplier for a year applies only to the members retiring on or after July 1 of the respective year.

If the annual actuarial valuation of the retirement system in any year indicates that the full cost of the increase provided under this paragraph cannot be absorbed within the employer and employee contribution rates in effect under section 97B.11, the department shall reduce the increase to a level which the department determines can be so absorbed.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter providing for the payment of the benefits provided in subsection 16, the department shall establish the percentage multiplier which applies to members covered under subsection 16 at the same level as is established under this subsection for other members of the system.

By November 15, 1995, the department shall set aside from other moneys in the retirement fund three million eight hundred sixty thousand dollars. The moneys set aside shall be from the funds generated by the employer and employee contributions in effect under section 97B.11 that exceed the amount necessary to fund the system's existing liabilities, as determined in the annual actuarial valuation of the system as of June 30, 1995. If the annual actuarial valuation indicates that the amount of the employer and employee contributions in excess of the amount necessary to fund existing liabilities is less than three million eight hundred sixty thousand dollars, the department shall set aside all funds that are available. The funds set aside shall not be used in determining the covered wage limitation pursuant to section 97B.41, subsection 20, paragraph "b", subparagraph (11), on January 1, 1996. However, any funds set aside which are not specifically dedicated to a purpose by the Seventy-sixth General Assembly shall be used in determining the covered wage limitation thereafter.

In accordance with sections 97D.1 and 97D.4, it is the intent of the general assembly that once the goal of sixty percent of the three-year average covered wage is attained for a percentage multiplier, the department shall submit to the public retirement systems committee a plan for future benefit enhancements. This plan shall include, but is not limited to, continuation in the increase in the covered wage ceiling until reaching fifty-five thousand dollars for a calendar year, providing for annual adjustments in the annual dividends paid to retired members as provided in section 97B.49, subsection 13, and providing for the indexing of terminated vested members' earned benefits at a rate of three percent per year calculated from the date of termination from covered employment until the date of retirement.

c. For the purposes of this subsection, "fraction of years of service" means a number, not to exceed one, equal to the sum of the years of membership service and the number of years of prior service divided by thirty years.

d. If benefits under this subsection commence on an early retirement date, the amount of benefit shall be reduced in accordance with section 97B.50.

6. On January 1, 1976, for each member who retired before January 1, 1976, the amount of regular monthly retirement allowance attributable to membership service and prior service that was payable to the member for December 1975 is increased by ten percent for the first calendar year or portion of a calendar year the member was retired, and by an additional five percent for each calendar year after the first calendar year the member was retired through the calendar year beginning January 1, 1975. The total increase shall not exceed one hundred percent. Effective July 1, 1987, there is appropriated for each fiscal year from the Iowa public employees' retirement fund created in section 97B.7 to the department of personnel from funds not otherwise appropriated an amount sufficient to fund the monthly retirement allowance increases paid under this subsection.

The benefit increases granted to members retired under the system on January 1, 1976 shall be granted only on January 1, 1976 and shall not be further increased for any year in which the member was retired after the calendar year beginning January 1, 1975.

7. a. Notwithstanding other provisions of this chapter, a member who is or has been employed as a conservation peace officer under section 456A.13 and who retires on or after July 1, 1986, and before July 1, 1988, and at the time of retirement is at least sixty years of age and has completed at least twenty-five years of membership service as a conservation peace officer, may elect to receive, in lieu of the receipt of any benefits under subsection 5 of this section, a monthly retirement allowance equal to one-twelfth of fifty percent of the member's three-year average covered wage as a conservation peace officer, with benefits payable during the member's lifetime.

b. A conservation peace officer who retires on or after July 1, 1986, and before July 1, 1988, and has not completed twenty-five years of membership service as required under this subsection is eligible to receive a monthly retirement allowance equal to one-twelfth of fifty percent of the member's three-year average covered wage as a conservation peace officer multiplied by a fraction of years of service as a conservation peace officer. For the purpose of this subsection, "fraction of years of service" means a number, not to exceed one, equal to the sum of the years of membership service as a conservation peace officer, divided by twenty- five years. On or after July 1, 1986, if the conservation peace officer has not reached sixty years of age at retirement, the monthly retirement allowance shall be reduced by five-tenths of one percent per month for each month that the conservation peace officer's retirement precedes the date on which the conservation peace officer attains sixty years of age.

The annual contribution necessary to pay for the additional benefits provided in this paragraph, shall be paid by the employer and employee in the same proportion that employer and employee contributions are made under section 97B.11.

c. There is appropriated from the state fish and game protection fund to the department of personnel an actuarially determined amount determined by the Iowa public employees' retirement system sufficient to pay for the additional benefits to conservation peace officers provided by this section, as a percentage, in paragraph "a" and for the employer portion of the benefits provided in paragraph "b". The amount is in addition to the contribution paid by the employer under section 97B.11. The cost of the benefits relating to conservation peace officers within the fish and game division of the department of natural resources shall be paid from the state fish and game protection fund and the cost of the benefits relating to the other conservation peace officers of the department shall be paid from the general fund.

8. a. Notwithstanding other provisions of this chapter, a member who is or has been employed as a peace officer and who retires on or after July 1, 1986, and before July 1, 1988, and at the time of retirement is at least sixty years of age and has completed at least twenty-five years of membership service as a peace officer, may elect to receive, in lieu of the benefits under subsection 5 of this section, a monthly retirement allowance equal to one-twelfth of fifty percent of the member's three-year average covered wage as a peace officer, with benefits payable during the member's lifetime.

A peace officer who retires on or after July 1, 1986, and before July 1, 1988, and has not completed twenty-five years of membership service as required under this subsection is eligible to receive a monthly retirement allowance equal to one-twelfth of fifty percent of the member's three-year average covered wage as a peace officer multiplied by the fraction of years of service as a peace officer. For the purpose of this subsection, "fraction of years of service" means a number, not to exceed one, equal to the sum of the years of membership service as a peace officer, divided by twenty-five years. On or after July 1, 1984, if the peace officer has not reached sixty years of age at retirement, the monthly retirement allowance shall be reduced by five-tenths of one percent per month for each month that the peace officer's retirement precedes the date on which the peace officer attains sixty years of age.

For the purpose of this subsection membership service as a peace officer means service under this system as any or all of the following:

(1) As a county sheriff as defined in section 39.17.

(2) As a deputy sheriff appointed pursuant to section 341.1, Code 1981, or section 331.903.

(3) As a marshal or police officer in a city not covered under chapter 400.

b. Each county and applicable city and employee eligible for benefits under this section shall annually contribute an amount determined by the department of personnel, as a percentage of covered wages, to be necessary to pay for the additional benefits provided by this section. The annual contribution in excess of the employer and employee contributions required by this chapter shall be paid by the employer and the employee in the same proportion that employer and employee contributions are made under section 97B.11. The additional percentage of covered wages shall be calculated separately by the department for service under paragraph "a", subparagraphs (1) and (2), and for service under paragraph "a", subparagraph (3), and each shall be an actuarially determined amount for that type of service which, if contributed throughout the entire period of active service, would be sufficient to provide the pension benefit provided in this section.

9. Effective July 1, 1978, for each member who retired from the system prior to January 1, 1976, the amount of regular monthly retirement allowance attributable to membership service and prior service that was payable to the member for June 1978 is increased as follows:
