RS 1456.2 - Rescission of participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan
Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, any participant in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP) of this fund who has not severed employment and has not taken a distribution from his DROP account may make a one-time, irrevocable election to rescind all of his participation period in DROP and return to active, contributing membership in the fund on or before March 31, 2009. A person who rescinds such DROP participation shall forfeit all accumulated DROP benefits and any interest accrued on such benefits. If contributions were not previously paid, the participant shall pay to the fund the employee contributions the fund would have received if he had not been a DROP participant during his participation period, together with any interest or other actuarial cost for such rescission. The rescinding participant shall be required to hold the fund contractually harmless in the event that a spouse, former spouse, or any other person successfully establishes a property right relative to the DROP benefit forfeited by the participant which has any adverse effect upon the fund.
