A. Upon application for retirement, a member may elect to receive the actuarial equivalent of his retirement benefit as a reduced monthly benefit payable for life, plus an initial lump sum benefit. The amount of the initial lump sum benefit, as determined by the member, shall not exceed an amount equal to the member's normal retirement benefit times sixty. B. The member's monthly retirement will be actuarially reduced based on the lump sum amount withdrawn and the member's age at retirement. The initial benefit, together with the member's reduced normal retirement benefit must be actuarially equivalent to the member's normal retirement benefit as set forth in R.S. 11:3384. C. Cost-of-living adjustments granted by the board of trustees to retirees who elect to receive a reduced retirement benefit and an initial lump sum benefit shall be based only on the reduced retirement benefit and shall not be based on the initial lump sum benefit.
