(1) Definitions. Unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context:

(2) Scope. Any beneficiary of a retirement allowance payable for service or disability under the provisions of chapter 41.35 RCW may authorize the director to deduct from his or her retirement allowance, on a monthly basis only, the premiums on any group life or disability insurance policy or plan currently covering the beneficiary, issued to the employer by which the retiree was employed prior to retirement. The department and the director are not and will not be liable for any failure to make such deduction payments on time or in the proper amount.

(3) Procedure. Any beneficiary, who desires to authorize a retirement allowance deduction as provided by this section, shall notify the department of his or her intention in writing at least thirty days prior to the date that the first deduction is to be made and shall file with the department a formal authorization on such form as may be provided by the department.

(4) Revocability. You must submit to the department an express written statement of revocation to revoke an authorization for a retirement allowance deduction for payment of insurance premiums under this section. Such a revocation shall be applicable to the first retirement allowance deduction which would otherwise be made at the end of the calendar month following the month in which the statement of revocation is filed.
