Section 59.02.01.102 - ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS
01.Direct Rollovers. A Member of the Judges' Retirement Fund or a beneficiary of a Member (including a Member's former spouse who is the alternate payee under an approved domestic relations order) who is entitled to an eligible rollover distribution may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Administrator, to have all or any portion of the distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Member in a direct rollover.
02.Eligible Rollover Distribution Defined. For purposes of this Rule, an eligible rollover distribution means any distribution of all or any portion of a Member's account balance, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include (a) any installment payment for a period of ten (10) years or more, (b) any distribution made as a result of an unforeseeable emergency, or (c) for any other distribution, the portion, if any, of the distribution that is a required minimum distribution under Code Section 401(a)(9). In addition, an eligible retirement plan means an individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, a qualified trust described in Section 40l(a) of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) or 403(b) of the Code, or an eligible governmental plan described in Section 457(b) of the Code, that accepts the eligible rollover distribution. Effective January 1, 2008, an eligible retirement plan shall also mean a Roth IRA described in Section 408A of the Code.
03.Alternate Payees. A distributee includes an employee or former employee. In addition, the employee's or former employee's surviving spouse and the employee's or former employee's spouse or former spouse, who is the alternate payee under a domestic retirement order, approved as provided in Rule 402 are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.
04.Transfers to Non-Spouse Beneficiaries. This Rule 103.05 applies to distributions made on or after July 1, 2008. Notwithstanding any provision of the Judges' Retirement Fund to the contrary that would otherwise limit the options of the Beneficiary of a deceased Member who is not the Member's spouse, the administrator shall, upon the request of such a Beneficiary transfer a lump sum distribution to the trustee of an individual retirement account established under Section 408 of the Code in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 402(e)(11).
