Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 18A:66-77

  • Annuity: A periodic (usually annual) payment of a fixed sum of money for either the life of the recipient or for a fixed number of years. A series of payments under a contract from an insurance company, a trust company, or an individual. Annuity payments are made at regular intervals over a period of more than one full year.
  • Board: means the board of education. See New Jersey Statutes 18A:1-1
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
  • State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2

The state and other participating employers shall pay over to the state treasurer the amount for premiums so certified and the state treasurer shall deposit these amounts in the group insurance premium fund. During the period such group insurance policy or policies are in effect the state treasurer shall in no way commingle moneys in this fund with any pension fund established under this article.

In the event that the board of trustees of the teachers’ pension and annuity fund shall determine to purchase group coverage for the additional death benefits, premiums for same shall be paid from a special fund hereby created called the “contributory group insurance premium fund.” While such group coverage shall be in force, the contributions from the compensation of members to provide such additional death benefits shall be accumulated in said contributory group insurance premium fund. Any dividend or retrospective rate credit allowed by an insurance company shall be credited to the aforesaid funds in an equitable manner.
