Each full-time judge who was appointed prior to January 1, 2005, or an eligible beneficiary of such judge who retired after attaining age 65, shall notify the plan in writing no later than 90 days after the plan mails to each affected person a statement of the method by which retirement benefits are calculated under N.H. Rev. Stat. Chapter 100-C as well as under the provisions of the former judicial retirement statutes, N.H. Rev. Stat. § 490:2, N.H. Rev. Stat. § 491:2, N.H. Rev. Stat. § 502-A:6-a, or N.H. Rev. Stat. § 547:2-a, as to whether the member or beneficiary intends to claim retirement benefits pursuant to one of the former judicial retirement statutes instead of the retirement benefits paid pursuant to RSA 100-C.

Rev. Stat. § 100-C:13 or N.H. Rev. Stat. § 100-C:14.
