South Dakota Retirement Act

South Dakota · Public Officers and Employees · §§ 3-12C-1001 to 3-12C-907 · 298 sections

Overview

This act governs a public retirement system for government employees, setting the terms on which covered members accrue service credit and receive retirement benefits. It defines the system's operative terms — compensation, final average compensation, vesting, disability, actuarial equivalence, and cost-of-living adjustment — and sorts participants into benefit tiers and service classes, including a separate class for justices, judges, and magistrate judges. On that framework it builds the benefit structure itself: normal retirement ages and benefit formulas for each class, reduced and actuarially adjusted benefits for members who retire early, survivor and surviving spouse benefits, and an optional additional survivor protection program that is closed to new enrollment.
