Section 715:10-15-12 - Spousal consent

When selecting a retirement option, a TRS Acknowledgment of Spousal Consent shall be completed. If the member is married at the time of retirement, the retiring member's spouse must acknowledge that the retirement options available to the member have been explained to the spouse and the spouse concurs with the retirement option selected by the retiring member. If the member is unmarried or unable to locate their spouse at the time of retirement, the member must certify that he or she is unmarried or that at the time of retirement the whereabouts of the spouse is unknown and the spouse cannot be located. Spousal Consent is an integral part of the application for retirement and must be on file with TRS before the member's retirement becomes effective.

1This emergency action expired without being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency amendatory action, the last prior permanent text is reinstated. Therefore, on 7-15-99 (after the 7-14-99 expiration of the emergency action), the text of section 715:10-15-12 reverted back to the permanent text that was effective prior to enactment of the emergency action on 10-5-98, as last published in the 1996 Edition of the OAC, and remained as such until amended again by emergency action on 9-8-99.
