Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 243 § 243.465 — Rollover distribution of deferred amounts to beneficiary

Rollover distribution of deferred amounts to beneficiary. (1) If a benefit is payable under the state deferred compensation plan described in ORS 243.401 to 243.507 to a beneficiary by reason of the death of an eligible state employee participating in the plan, the beneficiary may elect to have all or part of the distribution of deferred amounts paid as an eligible rollover distribution to an individual retirement plan described in 26 U.S.C. 408(a), or an individual retirement annuity, other than an endowment contract, described in 26 U.S.C. 408(b), if the plan or annuity is established for the purpose of receiving the eligible rollover distribution on behalf of the designated beneficiary. (2) Subsection (1) of this section applies to an eligible rollover distribution of deferred amounts to a beneficiary who is not treated as the spouse of the decedent for federal tax purposes and who is the decedent’s designated beneficiary for the purposes of the minimum required distribution requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(9). To the extent provided by rules of the Public Employees Retirement Board, a trust maintained for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries must be treated by the board in the same manner as a trust that is designated as a beneficiary for the purposes of the minimum required distribution requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(9). (3) As used in this section, “eligible rollover distribution” has the meaning given that term in 26 U.S.C. 402(c)(4), as in effect on January 1, 2008. [2007 c.628 §8]
