Pennsylvania Statutes Title 53 P.S. Municipal and Quasi-Municipal Corporations § 30578. Fraud; correction of errors

Any person who shall knowingly make any false statement, or shall falsify or permit to be falsified, any record or records of the retirement system herein established in any attempt to defraud such system, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, shall be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1000), or suffer imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, in the discretion of the court.

Should any such change in records fraudulently made or any mistake in records inadvertently made, result in any contributor or beneficiary receiving more or less than he would have been entitled to had the records been correct, then on the discovery of such error the board shall correct such error, and shall adjust the payments which shall be made to the contributor or annuitant in such manner that the actuarial equivalent of the benefit to which he was correctly entitled shall be paid.
