§901.13. Allocation of funds; computation; eligibility; schedule
There is hereby dedicated or allocated out of the state public school fund of the state of Louisiana the sum of $460,000 annually, or so much thereof as may be necessary, beginning on the first of the month immediately following July 27, 1960 to be paid by the state treasurer to the teachers' retirement system of Louisiana for the purpose of providing a supplementary allowance for any teacher who is or will be retired under the provisions of Parts III, IV, V, or VII of Title 17 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 by the board of trustees of either the teachers' retirement system of Louisiana or teachers' retirement fund of Orleans parish provided the teacher is eligible under the eligibility requirements hereinafter set forth:
(1) Computation of benefit provided by this Sub-part if retirant retired, or will retire, under one of the optional plans.
The following paragraphs assume that the retirant retired, or will retire, under the regular, or the maximum plan. For a retirant who retired, or will retire, under one of the several optional plans (called options), the supplement, or benefit, provided by this Act shall be computed on the basis of the retirement allowance payable to him had he retired under the regular or maximum plan.
(2) Eligibility.
(a) Retirement under the regular, or maximum plan. No retirant (retired teacher) who is entitled to receive, apart from the provisions of this Sub-part (from other legislative acts), a benefit equal to or in excess of the amount of $200 per month is eligible to receive any benefit provided by this Sub-part.
(b) Retirement under one of the optional plans called options: If retirement is under one of the optional plans, or options, and the amount that the retirer would receive from the retirement act and other acts which provide a supplementary benefit (not including this Sub-part) under the regular, or maximum plan is equal to or in excess of the amount of $200 then the retirer is not eligible to receive any benefit provided by this Sub-part.
(3) Method of determining the amount of the supplement.
(a) If the supplement provided by this Sub-part plus the benefit otherwise provided (provided by the retirement law or other legislation) exceeds the amount of $200 per month, then the benefit provided by this Sub-part shall be reduced to an amount which when added to the benefit otherwise provided shall not exceed the amount of $200 per month.
(b) If a retirant is receiving old age assistance from the department of public welfare the amount received from said department shall be deducted from the supplement, or amount provided otherwise by this Sub-part.
(c) No retirant under age 72 who is earning from any kind of employment (including self-employment) as much as $1200 per annum is eligible while receiving such earnings to receive any benefit from this Sub-part.
(d) The supplementary retired pay provided by this Sub-part shall be computed in accordance with the following formula or schedule:
