Cal. Government Code - GOV 2. — ARTICLE 2. Additional Contributions [20710. - 20712.] | Government Code - GOV — California

Cal. Government Code - GOV § 20710. Section 20710.

Subject to rules prescribed by the board, any member or any employer, other than the state, on behalf of any group of miscellaneous members, any group of members designated by the employer as management employees, or any members, may elect to make contributions in excess of the member’s normal contributions, for the purpose of providing additional benefits. The exercise of this privilege by a member does not require his or her employer to make any additional contributions. An election by an employer to make the additional contributions does not require any member to make additional contributions and the additional contributions shall continue in effect for the period as shall be specified in the election filed with the board and a member shall acquire no right by reason of his or her employment while the election is in effect to a continuation of those contributions beyond the period specified in the election. Upon application, the board shall furnish information concerning the nature and amount of additional benefits to be obtained from additional contributions. The board may by rule provide for refund of accumulated additional contributions to a member. However, a refund of additional contributions may be made to a member if an employer had made additional contributions on his or her behalf only as a part of a refund of accumulated contributions in accordance with this part. Wherever in this part provision is made with respect to additional or accumulated additional contributions of a member the term shall include contributions made by an employer pursuant to this article. The board shall provide for additional employer contributions to be credited at least monthly to the individual account of the member on behalf of whom the contribution is made.

Cal. Government Code - GOV § 20711. Section 20711.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, a member may at any time, in writing, authorize the board to apply any additional contributions standing to the member’s credit as payment of any contributions required of the member or payable at the member’s option pursuant to any provision of this part, except the normal monthly contributions required in Article 1 (commencing with Section 20670).

Cal. Government Code - GOV § 20712. Section 20712.

An election by any member or any employer to make additional contributions in accordance with Section 20710 shall be effective only if it was filed with the board on or before June 30, 1983. Additional contributions may be made on and after July 1, 1983, in accordance with the terms of an election filed on or before June 30, 1983. A refund of accumulated additional contributions or an application of accumulated additional contributions as payment of any required contribution under Section 20711 shall terminate the privilege of making additional contributions if the refund or application occurs on or after July 1, 1983.
