When a State has a qualifying retirement or benefit withholding system and certain National Guard employees may join it, the Defense Secretary must make an agreement with the State after a proper request. Defense disbursing officials must withhold and send those employees’ contributions to the State system or its designated recipient.
When (1) a State law provides for employee contributions to a State employee retirement system or State-sponsored retirement, disability, or death-benefit plan by withholding money from State employees’ pay and sending it to State authorities or their designated recipient, and (2) Army National Guard and Air National Guard employees, other than National Guard Bureau employees, may join such a system or plan, the Secretary of Defense must, under Presidential regulations, make an agreement with the State within 120 days after the proper State official requests one. The agreement must require the Department of Defense to follow the State law for the eligible individuals described in paragraph (2).
