§1484. Reversion of funds prohibited A. At no time shall it be possible for the plan assets to be used for, or diverted to, any person or purpose other than for the exclusive benefit of the members and their beneficiaries, except that contributions made by the employer may be returned to the employer if the contribution was made due to a mistake of fact and the contribution is returned within one year of the mistaken payment of the contribution. B. The amount of any contribution returned shall not exceed the difference between the amount actually contributed and the amount which would have been contributed had there been no mistake of fact and shall not include the earnings attributable to such contribution. The amount of the contributions returned shall be reduced by any losses attributable to the contribution, and no participant shall have his benefit payable hereunder reduced by the return of the contribution to less than such benefit would have been had the returned contribution never been made. C. Notwithstanding the above, if the system is terminated and all obligations under the system are fully funded and provided for, then any excess funds held by the system shall be returned to the employer.
