Upon request of the System, all details of the offered incentive shall be provided to the Maine State Retirement System.

(1) Whenever a retiring member of the Maine State Retirement System is offered and/or provided any retirement incentive as defined in Section I above, he or she must describe the retirement incentive to the Retirement System in writing and provide any further details as requested by the System.
(2) Each retiring member must certify in writing to the Maine State Retirement System that he or she has not been offered any retirement incentive as defined in Section 1 that the member has not previously disclosed in writing to the Maine State Retirement System.
