§ 8535. Payments to school entities by Commonwealth.
For each school year beginning with the 1995-1996 school year and ending with the 2018-2019 school year, each school entity shall be paid by the Commonwealth for contributions based upon school service of active members of the system after June 30, 1995, as follows:
(1)The Commonwealth shall pay each school entity for contributions made to the Public School Employees' Retirement Fund based upon school service of all active members, including members on activated military service leave, whose effective dates of employment with their school entities are after June 30, 1994, and who also had not previously been employed by any school entity within this Commonwealth an amount equal to the amount certified by the Public School Employees' Retirement Board as necessary to provide, together with the members' contributions, reserves on account of prospective annuities, supplemental annuities and the premium assistance program as provided in this part in accordance with section 8328 (relating to actuarial cost method), multiplied by the market value/income aid ratio of the school entity. For no school year shall any school entity receive less than the amount that would result if the market value/income aid ratio as defined in section 2501(14.1) of the Public School Code was 0.50.
(2)The Commonwealth shall pay each school entity for contributions made to the Public School Employees' Retirement Fund based upon school service of all active members, including members on activated military service leave, who are not described in paragraph (1), one-half of the amount certified by the Public School Employees' Retirement Board as necessary to provide, together with the members' contributions, reserves on account of prospective annuities, supplemental annuities and the premium assistance program as provided in this part in accordance with section 8328.
(3)School entities shall have up to five days after receipt of the Commonwealth's portion of the employer's liability to forward the payment to the Public School Employees' Retirement Fund. School entities are expected to make the full payment to the Public School Employees' Retirement Fund in accordance with section 8327 (relating to payments by employers) in the event the receipt of the Commonwealth's portion of the employer's liability is delayed because of delinquent salary reporting or other conduct by the school entities.
