A. Any benefit payable under this Chapter for which a member or beneficiary becomes eligible on or after July 1, 1999, shall be paid through an electronic transfer of funds. B. Any benefit recipient, or the legal representative thereof, may seek an exception to this payment method upon written certification to the board of trustees that the recipient does not have an account with a financial institution and that payment by electronic funds transfer would impose a hardship due to a physical disability or geographic barrier, or would impose a financial hardship. The board of trustees may grant other waivers to the electronic funds transfer requirement in accordance with rules and regulations adopted in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.
