the actual payment of the pension or benefit, have the right to
anticipate, sell, assign, pledge, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of or
encumber the pension or benefit.
(b) A person's interest, share, pension, or benefit, before the actual

or misdemeanor charges accusing the person of the criminal taking of
the employer's property have been filed.

and interest under subsection (e) until the final resolution of the
