(a) Rights upon termination or discontinuance of contributions. Full vesting of all accrued benefits must occur upon termination of the retirement system, or upon complete discontinuance of contributions thereto, to the extent that such accrued benefits are funded.
(b) Provision for allocation of unallocated funds. Upon termination of the retirement system, or complete discontinuance of contributions thereto, any unallocated funds which are not necessary for the satisfaction of liabilities under the retirement system must be returned to the county.
(c) Limitation on the use of certain dividends and credits. Credits or returns under any annuity contract, other than those arising from corrections of errors in records or computations (such as misstated ages or similar corrections), must not be paid to the county prior to permanent discontinuance of contributions or discontinuance of the retirement system. All dividends, experience rating credits, or employer surrender or cancellation credits ascertained prior to permanent discontinuance of contributions or termination of the retirement system must be applied regularly toward the premiums (or required contributions) next due for the purchase of any annuities. Any surrender or cancellation credits made available after discontinuance of contributions or termination of the retirement system, but before all retirement annuities with respect to service prior to such discontinuance or termination have been purchased, must be applied regularly as they are determined to purchase such retirement benefits so as not to discriminate in favor of officers and highly compensated persons. Any dividends, experience credits, surrender credits or cancellation credits made after permanent discontinuance of contributions or termination of the retirement system and after the satisfaction of all liabilities of the retirement system must be paid to the county.
(d) Reversion of surplus assets upon termination of the retirement system or discontinuance of contributions thereto. Upon termination of the retirement system or complete discontinuance of contributions thereto, any assets which are not necessary for the satisfaction of liabilities under the retirement system, must be returned to the county.
