Terms Used In California Government Code 17004.5

  • Beneficiary: A person who is entitled to receive the benefits or proceeds of a will, trust, insurance policy, retirement plan, annuity, or other contract. Source: OCC
  • Entitlement: A Federal program or provision of law that requires payments to any person or unit of government that meets the eligibility criteria established by law.

Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.

(b) Moneys become available in the Investment Dividend Disbursement Account (IDDA) only when the investment earnings exceed the earnings forecasted by the actuaries and adopted by the Board of Administration of the Public Employees’ Retirement System.

(c) The increases are subject to some variation, are not cumulative, and will not be included in your base allowance entitlement, are not subject to any cost-of-living adjustments, and may be discontinued or reduced if sufficient funds are not available.
