The temporary annuity under subdivision
(a)of this section shall not be subject to the optional settlements under Article 6 (commencing with Section 21450) and shall be payable monthly until the retired member attains or would have attained age 65. Should his or her death occur prior to age 65, the commuted value of any remaining installments shall be paid to his or her designated beneficiary in the manner provided in former Section 21332.5, as added by Chapter 1264 of the Statutes of 1953, for payment of death benefits under optional settlement one.
The agency’s liability for prior service shall be in the same proportion to the total reserves required as the years of credited prior service bear to the total years of credited service. The agency’s liability for current service shall consist of the remainder of the total reserves required after deducting the liability for prior service and the accumulated normal contributions of the member.
This section shall apply only to a contracting agency that elected prior to October 1, 1965, by express provision of its contract or amendment thereto to be subject hereto.
