Louisiana § RS 11:1172 - Deduction of employee benefit contributions from retiree benefit checks

§ RS 11:1172. Deduction of employee benefit contributions from retiree benefit checks

Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the retiree contributions for accident and health and life insurance coverage to be paid by any retiree, beneficiary, or survivor participating in a group insurance plan who receives a recurring benefit payment from this system may be deducted from the benefit payment if the deduction is made for all retirees and their survivors who participate in the group plan.  Such deduction may be affected by the use of magnetic media prepared and furnished by the participating city or parish school board in a form processible by the retirement system's computer facility.  The retirement system shall remit such deductions directly to the city or parish school board in periodic lump sums.  Such deductions may only be made after approval by the board of trustees of the Louisiana School Employees' Retirement System and only when the system has adequate facilities and staff to make the deductions and only if no additional costs are imposed upon the retirement system.
