TEXAS HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN is a DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN. This type of plan generally provides participants with a monthly retirement benefit upon reaching a specific age and may be adjusted for early retirement. Benefits paid at the time of retirement are typically calculated using a formula based upon years of credited service and compensation information. Benefits are generally payable to the participant upon reaching "normal retirement age" for the remainder of the Participant's lifetime. Benefits accumulated under this type of plan are often referred to as "accrued benefits".

With this type of plan, the Alternate Payee is usually not awarded a lump sum cash payment from the Plan. Rather, the Alternate Payee’s award is typically made in terms of a monthly benefit payable for either the lifetime of the Participant (a "shared payment") or the Alternate Payee (a "separate interest").

Features of the TEXAS HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN may include:

• Benefits accrued under this Plan are primarily pay related
• This Plan is known as a “Floor-offset” plan and is designed to offset for retirement benefits provided by an employer-sponsored defined contribution plan.
