For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in the defined benefit plans administered by PERS, an eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the member or his or her surviving spouse. A distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of a deceased member payable to a non-spouse beneficiary is also qualified as an eligible rollover distribution. However, a non-spouse beneficiary may rollover the distribution only to an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity established for the purpose of receiving the distribution and the account or annuity will be treated as an "inherited" individual retirement account or annuity.
