Section 17:1-6.2 - Indictments, dismissals, litigation, or appeals

(a) When a member is subject to criminal charges, such an indictment, information or accusation or dismissed from public employment due to administrative charges, the matter shall be referred to the Board Secretary's office to determine the status of any claim, which may be filed by the member.

(b) No credit shall be granted for the period during which the member's salary has been terminated while under indictment, information, accusation or suspension, until the outcome of the proceedings determines the basis for the award of such credit, if any.

(c) No claims for retirement or death benefits can be processed until the matter has been fully adjudicated and completely resolved to the satisfaction of the Board of Trustees, pursuant to 17:1-1.13(a)4. Resolution of these charges must be verified by contact with the County Prosecutor's Office, the Attorney General's Office, the Department of Education, the Civil Service Commission, the employer, or other responsible agencies.

(d) Likewise in cases where anything pertaining to a member's employment is in litigation, or under appeal, the matter shall be held in abeyance until the Division determines if claims can be processed or whether the processing of such claims are to be postponed pending a final resolution of the litigation or appeal.

(e) If charges listed in 17:1-1.1 3(a)4 are received by the Boards or Division after the member's date of retirement, the Boards may suspend retirement benefits pending the outcome of such charges.
