Section I-1303 - Procedure for an Emergency Refund

A. The member or beneficiary shall provide a copy of the death certificate, a doctor's statement of total and permanent disability, a copy of medical invoices, or copies of other pertinent documentation to qualify for the emergency refund. Outstanding bills must be payable prior to the date the individual would otherwise receive the refund, or other like economic hardship must be shown to be considered sufficient reason for declaring an emergency situation.

B. Upon receipt of the documentation and approval by the executive director, the retirement system shall issue the refund at the next scheduled date for issuing refund checks. The refund amount shall include all employee contributions received from the employing agency and posted to the individual's account. Any additional contributions received at a later date from the agency shall be refunded to the individual after they are received and posted to the account.
