Section 286.665 - Death of member, retired employee or beneficiary: Transfer of contributions to retirement fund under certain circumstances; procedure for claiming transferred money1. Any contributions remaining in a member's, retired employee's or beneficiary's individual account must be transferred to the Public Employees' Retirement Fund or the Police and Firefighters' Retirement Fund upon the death of the member, retired employee or beneficiary if there is no heir, devisee or legatee capable of receiving the money.2. If, within 6 years after any transfer under subsection 1, any person appears and claims any money which was transferred to a retirement fund, the claimant may file a petition in the District Court for Carson City stating the nature of the claim, with an appropriate prayer for the relief demanded. A copy of the petition must be served upon the Attorney General before or at the time of filing it. Within 20 days after service, the Attorney General shall appear in the proceeding and respond to the petition. If, after examining all the facts, the Attorney General is convinced that the System has no legal defense against the petition, the Attorney General may, with the consent of the Court, confess judgment on behalf of the System.3. If judgment is not confessed, the petition must be considered at issue on the 20th day after its filing, and may be heard by the Court on that day, or at such future day as the Court may order. Upon the hearing, the Court shall examine into the claim and hear the allegations and proofs. If the Court finds that the claimant is entitled to any money transferred under subsection 1 to a retirement fund, it shall order the Public Employees' Retirement Board to pay such money forthwith to the claimant, but without interest or cost to the Board.4. All persons, except minors and persons of unsound mind, who fail to appear and file their petitions within the time limited in subsection 2 are forever barred. Minors and persons of unsound mind may appear and file their petitions at any time within 5 years after their respective disabilities are removed.Added to NRS by 1977, 1573; A 1979, 259; 2003, 2064Added to NRS by 1977, 1573; A 1979, 259; 2003, 2064
