Tex.
Gov't Code Section 824.203
Standard Service Retirement Benefits
(a)
Except as provided by Subsections (c) and (d), the standard service retirement annuity is an amount computed on the basis of the member’s average annual compensation for the five years of service, whether or not consecutive, in which the member received the highest annual compensation, times 2.3 percent for each year of service credit in the retirement system.(b)
In the case of a person who retired before August 27, 1979, ceilings in the definition of “annual compensation” apply to the computation of average annual compensation under Subsection (a). In the case of a person who retires on or after that date, those ceilings do not apply and the computation shall be based on actual compensation paid or payable for services as an employee to the extent that the computation includes compensation for school years before the 1981-82 school year.(c)
Except as provided by Subsection (d), for benefits payable because of the death or retirement of a member that occurred before September 1, 1982, the standard service retirement annuity is computed in accordance with applicable prior law.(d)
In no case may the standard service retirement annuity be less than $150 a month. The minimum benefits provided by this section are subject to reduction in the same manner as other benefits because of early retirement or selection of an optional retirement annuity.(e)
Repealed by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 1229, Sec. 29(4), eff. Sept. 1, 2001.
