1999 Minnesota Statutes

     356.41 Benefit adjustments for certain disability and 
  survivor benefits. 

    Disability benefits payable to a disabilitant, if not 
 otherwise included in the participation in the Minnesota 
 postretirement investment fund, and survivor benefits payable to 
 a survivor from any public pension fund which participates in 
 the Minnesota postretirement investment fund shall be adjusted 
 in the same manner, at the same times and in the same amounts as 
 are benefits payable from the Minnesota postretirement 
 investment fund to eligible benefit recipients of that public 
 pension fund.  If a disability benefit is not included in the 
 participation in the Minnesota postretirement investment fund, 
 the disability benefit is recomputed as a retirement annuity and 
 the recipient would have been eligible for an adjustment 
 pursuant to this section if the disability benefit was not 
 recomputed, the recipient will continue to be eligible for the 
 adjustment pursuant to this section after the recomputation.  
 For the survivor of a deceased annuitant who receives a survivor 
 benefit calculated pursuant to a prior law rather than the 
 second portion of a joint and survivor annuity, any period of 
 receipt of a retirement annuity by the annuitant shall be 
 utilized in determining the period of receipt for eligibility to 
 receive an adjustment pursuant to this section.  No recipient 
 shall, however, be entitled to more than one adjustment pursuant 
 to this section or section 11A.18 applicable to one benefit at 
 one time by reason of this section.
