Section 415-104-211. Married LEOFF Plan 2 member's benefit selection—Spousal consent required.

(1) A LEOFF Plan 2 member, if married, must provide the spouse's written consent to the option selected under WAC 415-104-215. If a married LEOFF Plan 2 member does not provide spousal consent, the department will pay the retired member a joint and one-half survivor benefit allowance and record the member's spouse as the survivor, in compliance with RCW 41.26.460(2).

(2) Spousal consent is not needed to enforce a marital dissolution order requiring the department to pay an ex-spouse under RCW 41.50.790.

(3) "Spousal consent" means that the married member's spouse consents to the retirement option selected by the member. The spouse's notarized signature on a completed retirement application filed with the department constitutes spousal consent.
