Section 715:10-25-4 - Payment to alternate payee

Payments to an alternate payee will be made in a like manner and at the same time payment is made to the member. Payment will be either a lump sum distribution of the contributions and interest due the member upon termination of service or death, or monthly benefit payments under the retirement options available to the member at the time he or she applies for retirement benefits. The alternate payee shall not be allowed to choose a method of payment that is different from the method chosen by the member. The alternate payee may not receive payment of any kind prior to the member making application and becoming eligible for payment of benefits. Federal and Oklahoma state income taxes will be withheld from the payment to an alternate payee in accordance with applicable federal and state statutes.

1This emergency action expired before being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency action enacting a new Section, the Section is no longer effective. Therefore, on 7-15-94 (after the 7-14-94 expiration of the emergency action), the text of section 715:10-25-4 was no longer effective, and remained as such until added by permanent action on 7-25-94.
