in addition to the amount deposited under Section 820.102 (Annual Interest Adjustment), deposit into each member’s individual account in the employees saving account an amount equal to the gain sharing interest rate determined under Subsection (a) for the fiscal year multiplied by the member’s accumulated account balance as of the end of the preceding fiscal year; and(2)
recalculate the annuity payment of a retiree or annuitant under this chapter by:(A)
multiplying the annuity payment amount as of the end of the preceding fiscal year by the gain sharing interest rate determined under Subsection (a); or(B)
if the retiree or annuitant was not entitled to an annuity payment as of the end of the preceding fiscal year, multiplying the retiree’s or annuitant’s first annuity payment amount by the gain sharing interest rate determined under Subsection (a).(c)
The gain sharing interest rate applied under Subsection (b) may not be less than zero or more than three percent.(d)
