CA Gov't Code Section 31491.3

(a)

Notwithstanding subdivision (f) of Section 31491, for those members retiring on or after the operative date of this section, the early retirement pension shall consist of an annual allowance payable in monthly installments for the life of the retired member in an amount that is the actuarial equivalent of the normal retirement pension to which the retired member would be entitled if otherwise eligible for normal retirement, which shall be computed by multiplying the normal retirement pension by the early retirement adjustment factor set forth opposite the member’s age as of the birthday immediately preceding the date of retirement, in the following table: Age ERA Factor 55 .3748 56 .4109 57 .4511 58 .4957 59 .5454 60 .6009 61 .6631 62 .7328 63 .8113 64 .8998

(b)

For those members retiring on or after the operative date of this section, paragraph (2) of subdivision (g) of Section 31491 shall not apply, but with regard to those members who have not attained the age of 62 years as of the date of retirement (1) future earnings in employment covered by the federal system shall be assumed to continue at the rate of pay received by the employee from the employer as of the date of retirement or the date of termination of employment of a vested member, whichever is applicable, until the member attains the age of 62 years, and (2) future wage bases, as defined by the federal system, shall be assumed to continue at the wage base in effect in the year of retirement or the year of termination of employment of a vested member, whichever is applicable, until the member attains the age of 62 years, and (3) cost-of-living increases in the year of retirement and delayed retirement credit provided under the federal system shall not be included in the calculation of the estimated primary insurance amount.

(c)

Notwithstanding subdivision (e) or subdivision (j) of Section 31491, any member who retires on or after the operative date of this section, and after attaining the age of 62 years may, as soon as possible but not later than six months following retirement, present evidence required by the board demonstrating the retired member’s actual primary insurance amount. For purposes of this subdivision, the actual primary insurance amount shall be the amount actually payable under the federal system on the retired member’s date of retirement without regard to delayed retirement credit or any deductions on account of work, or the estimate of that amount as set forth on a current earnings and benefits estimate statement provided by the Social Security Administration. Following receipt of that evidence, the board shall adjust the retired member’s pension from the date of retirement to equal the amount of the pension to which he or she would have been entitled on that date had the estimated primary insurance amount equaled the actual primary insurance amount.

(d)

This section shall only be applicable to Los Angeles County and shall not become operative until the board of supervisors of that county elects, by resolution adopted by a majority vote, to make this section operative in the county.
