Such life annuity shall be calculated utilizing the percentage interest rate on 10-year United States treasury obligations as of January 1st of the calendar year of the effective date of retirement truncated to two decimal places and the mortality tables for options available under Retirement and Social Security Law, section 514 or 610.(c) Whenever a member for whom a loan is outstanding transfers to another public retirement system, this system shall transfer to the retirement system to which the member is transferring the difference between the full value of the member's contributions as of the date of transfer as if there were no loan outstanding and the member's outstanding loan balance with interest at the time of the transfer.N.Y.
