(1) INPRS shall allow a member to make a change or selection at least once a day.

(2) INPRS shall implement the member's selection the same day the selection is received by INPRS unless such selection is received after 4:00 p.m. EST on a business day, or anytime on a weekend or holiday, or any other date the New York Stock Exchange is closed, then INPRS shall implement the member's selection beginning the next business day after the selection is received. This date is the effective date of the member's selection.

(3) A member may select any combination of the stable value fund or any of the available alternative investment programs in one percent (1%) increments.

(4) A member's selection remains in effect until a new selection is made.

(5) On the effective date of a member's selection, INPRS shall reallocate the member's existing balance or balances in accordance with the member's direction, based on the sum of the market value on the effective date, minus any applicable investment management fees.

  (b) When a member who participates in the alternative or stable value fund investment programs transfers the amount credited to the member from one (1) alternative investment program to another alternative investment program or to the stable value fund, the amount credited to the member shall be valued at the sum of the market value of the member's investment, as of the effective date of the member's selection, minus any applicable investment management fees.

  (c) When a member who participates in any of the investment programs retires, becomes disabled, or suspends membership and withdraws from the fund, the amount credited to the member shall be the sum of the market value of the member's investment as of the day after INPRS receives the member's application for distribution or annuitization at retirement, disability, or suspension and withdrawal, plus contributions received after that date, minus any applicable investment management fees.

  (d) When a member who participates in an alternative investment program dies, within five (5) business days after the date of death notification is received by INPRS, the entire amount in the member's annuity savings account will be moved into a fixed value account. Such death notification shall be on a form or in a manner approved by INPRS. The amount credited to the member's account and moved to the fixed value account shall be the sum of the market value of the member's investment as of the day the amount in the member's annuity savings account is moved to the fixed value account minus any applicable investment management fees.

  (e) Subject to and in accordance with the distribution provisions of IC 5-10.2-3 and IC 5-10.2-4, in the event that the member has designated beneficiaries, beneficiary accounts will be established for each beneficiary and the pro rata share of all monies in the member's ASA will be moved to the respective beneficiary account and invested in the stable value fund under IC 5-10.2-3.
