This provision shall apply to the closed plan and year 2000 plan of MOSERS. The act also provides that any member who chooses the lump sum payment option shall forfeit, waive, and relinquish all accrued rights in the system, including accrued creditable service, which shall result in a complete discharge of the existing liability of the system with respect to such terminated member or person, however, this shall not be construed to affect a member's health care benefits as provided under Chapter 103, RSMo.
