Under the provisions of the City Charter, the Board of Administration (the "Board") has the responsibility and authority to administer the Plan and to invest its assets. The Board members serve as trustees and must act in the exclusive interest of the Plan's members and beneficiaries. The Board has seven members: one member of the Board of Water and Power Commissioners, the General Manager, the Chief Accounting Employee or Auditor, three employee members who are elected for three-year terms by active members of the Plan, and one retiree who is appointed by the Board of Water and Power Commissioners for a three-year term.
The Board holds regular meetings which are open to the public. For more information on the schedule of Board meetings, call the Retirement Plan Office (see "General Information", page i), or visit our website on the intranet: http://retirement/ or on the internet: http://retirement.ladwp.com/.
The Retirement Plan Office is responsible for all administrative details of the Plan, which means that it keeps track of your contributions and interest, invests the funds, and maintains all Plan records. If you have any questions about any part of the Plan, please feel free to contact the Retirement Plan Office.
The Retirement Plan Manager directs operations of the Plan subject to general rules, regulations, and instructions of the Board.
If you believe that you are not receiving all the Plan benefits that you are entitled to receive, you may file a written appeal with the Board of Administration of the Retirement Plan. The appeal should be sent or delivered to the Retirement Plan Office but addressed to the Board. A hearing before the Benefits Committee will be scheduled after you file your appeal.
