§ 7-323c. Benefit fund established.

Sec. 7-323c. Benefit fund established. There is established a fund which shall be known as the Policemen and Firemen Survivors' Benefit Fund. The fund shall consist of contributions received from the following sources:

(a) Each full-time paid policeman and fireman covered by a municipality's acceptance of this part who does not enjoy survivors' benefits provided by special act or charter provision or who does enjoy survivors' benefits provided by special act or charter provision but who elected to be covered under this section, shall contribute one per cent of his compensation, to be deducted by the municipality and forwarded not less frequently than once a month to the Retirement Commission to be credited to the fund.

(b) Each participating municipality shall be liable to the fund for an initial payment in an amount to be determined by the Retirement Commission, which amount is necessary, in conjunction with the policemen and firemen's contribution, to start the fund on a sound actuarial basis.

(c) Each participating municipality shall pay annually to the Retirement Commission to be credited to the fund such amounts fixed by said commission as shall, in conjunction with the policemen and firemen's contribution, maintain the fund on a sound actuarial basis.

(d) Each participating municipality shall also pay annually a proportionate share of the costs of the administration of the fund as determined by the commission on the basis of the number of employees covered by this part in such municipality.

(e) The rates of contribution referred to in subsections (b) and (c) of this section shall be proportions of the pay of members, which shall each be uniform for each participating municipality; except that, if any error or omission in the data furnished to the commission by any municipality causes the contribution rate fixed by the commission for any year under subsection (c) to be insufficient, the entire amount of any required increase shall be charged to the municipality or municipalities by which such errors or omissions were made.
