Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, for deferral elections made after September 1, 2024, the following rules shall apply:

 

At the time a deferral election is made, the Participant shall choose the date on which payment of the amount credited to the Deferred Compensation Account is to commence, which date shall be (i) as soon as administratively practicable on or after the first day of the second month after the month in which the Participant retires; (ii) as soon as administratively practicable on or after June 1st of the first calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant retires; or (iii) the date specified by the Participant, which must be at least one year after the year for which the Participant is making the deferral (collectively (i), (ii) and (iii) a “Payment Commencement Date”).
