In order to maintain its status as a qualified governmental defined benefit plan under the Internal Revenue Code, the Retirement System is subject to the following provisions:
(a) In addition to any vesting protections under current provisions of the Retirement System, in the event of a full or partial termination of, or a complete discontinuance of employer contributions to, the plan, the accrued benefits of the affected members under the plan shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable to the extent required by federal law.
(b) The Retirement Fund (the trust fund established for the Retirement System in Charter Section 1154) must not revert, and no contributions shall be permitted to be returned to the employer.
