§5-10D-11. Option to cash out of public retirement systems in lieu of receiving periodic payment of benefits over time.

(a) Members of all public retirement plans in the state administered by the Consolidated Public Retirement Board pursuant to §5-10D-1 et seq. of this code, except the Teachers' Defined Contribution Retirement System created by §18-7B-1 et seq. of this code, beginning July 1, 2019, may elect to receive the present value cash equivalent of the anticipated total payout of the participant’s public pension fund benefits in lieu of receiving periodic payment of benefits over time.

(b) Fifty percent of  the funds to pay the cash options made available by subsection (a) of this section shall be paid by the individual retiree’s retirement fund and fifty percent shall be paid from West Virginia’s Rainy Day Fund.

(c) To implement the provisions of this section, the Consolidated Public Retirement Board shall propose rules for legislative approval in accordance with the provisions of §29A-3-1 et seq. of this code.
