A member may elect to receive twenty-five (25) percent of the actuarially equivalent
value of their benefits in a lump sum. The payment of any lump sum distribution to
the retiree shall actuarially reduce the future benefits of the retiree. If the total
actual value of the member's lump sum benefits do not exceed five thousand dollars
($5,000.00), the member may receive the total benefit in a lump sum.
