PERS

Miss. Code Ann. § 25-11-103 (1972, as amended) defines "accumulated contributions" as the sum of all the amounts deducted from the compensation of a member and credited to his individual account in the annuity savings account, together with regular interest as provided in Miss. Code Ann. § 25-11-123 (1972, as amended). Miss. Code Ann. § 25-11-121(7) (1972, as amended) authorizes the PERS board of trustees to credit regular interest to the member's annuity savings account in an amount determined by the board. Section 25-11-123 authorizes the interest to be posted to the member's account on a monthly basis.

SLRP

Miss. Code Ann. § 25-11-303 (1972, as amended) provides that for purposes of the Supplemental Legislative Retirement Plan the definitions found in the PERS law at § 25-11-103 will apply unless a different meaning is plainly expressed by the context of the specific provisions of the Supplemental Plan. Thus, the definition of "accumulated contributions" as found in § 25-11-103, which includes "regular interest" as provided in §§ 25-11-121 and 25-11-123 above, applies to members of the Supplemental Legislative Retirement Plan.
