§ 11:829 — Deduction of employee benefit contributions from retiree checks

Louisiana § 11:829

• Jurisdiction: Louisiana
• Title 11: Consolidated Public Retirement Systems

Text

Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the retiree contributions for accident and health and life insurance coverage to be paid by any retiree, beneficiary, or survivor participating in a group insurance plan who receives a recurring benefit payment from this system may be deducted from the benefit payment if the deduction is made for all retirees and their survivors from that agency. Such deduction shall only be effected by the use of magnetic media prepared and furnished by the participating city or parish school board or other reporting agency not participating in the Office of Group Benefits programs in a form processible by the retirement system's computer facility and approved by the board of trustees. The retirement system shall remit such deductions directly to the participating agency in periodic lump sums. Such deductions may be made only after approval by the board of trustees of the Teachers' Retirement System and only when the system has adequate facilities and staff to make the deductions and only if no additional costs are imposed upon the retirement system.
