The employer shall bear the cost of the adjustment in the retirement allowances or pensions payable to retirants who retired from the employ of that employer and the cost of the survivorship benefits or pensions payable to beneficiaries of active or retired members who were in the employ of that employer at the members' death or retirement. The employer shall appropriate the amount in the fiscal year next following, taking into account payments made to retirants of the employer and their beneficiaries and prospective payments to be made to those retirants in the following year. The increase in retirement benefits, pensions and survivorship benefits provided for under this act shall commence with retirement allowance, pension and survivorship benefit payments for the month of January 1990, provided that there is appropriated the amount certified by the Director of the Division of Pensions of the Department of the Treasury to the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting as set forth in the "Pension Adjustment Act," P.L.1969, c.169 (C.43:3B-1 et seq.). In the case of any retirant or beneficiary first becoming eligible to receive an adjustment under the provisions of this act, such adjustment shall be paid beginning in the 25th month in which the retirant or beneficiary is entitled to receive the retirement allowance, pension or survivorship benefit. The adjustment in retirement allowances, pensions and survivorship benefits shall continue to be paid as long as there shall be appropriated the amounts so certified. In the event that the necessary funds are not so appropriated, the adjustment in retirement allowances, pensions and survivorship benefits shall cease; no further payments shall be made by the employer; and a refund shall be made by the retirement system to the employer of any balance unexpended on its account.
