Defined Benefit 1.75 Plan Member Contributions to Fund

The member contribution provisions under § 8136 or other successor provision shall be applicable to Defined Benefit 1.75 Plan members in a manner no different than the application to members who are not Defined Benefit 1.75 Plan members. However, notwithstanding that the contributions by Defined Benefit 1.75 Plan members are designated as member contributions and shall be administered as member contributions under § 8136, such contributions shall be on a mandatory basis deducted from the member’s base salary and paid by the employer in lieu of contributions by the member, and shall constitute pre-tax “pick-up” employer contributions for purposes of determining the income tax treatment of such contributions under Section 414(h) of the United States Internal Revenue Code.
