Statute text

(a)Members who have elected to transfer under Section 31494.1 shall be provided within 90 days of the election date the cost of contributions required for that period of all creditable service with the employer prior to the month for which monthly contributions are to commence, as prescribed in subdivision (f) of Section 31494.1, and shall deposit in the retirement fund, the amount hereinafter provided in this subdivision, by lump sum, or regular monthly installments, or both, over the period of time determined by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of the board of retirement, but in any event prior to the date of application for retirement or, if applicable, the date provided in Section 31485.8, the date of termination, or the date of death. The amount shall equal the sum of the contributions a member would have made to the retirement fund for that length of time as that for which the member shall receive credit as service, computed in accordance with the rate of contribution applicable to the member under the contributory plan, based upon entry age, and in the same manner as prescribed under the plan as if the plan had been in effect during the entire period of all creditable service, together with regular interest thereon.

(b)All service previously purchased by the member pursuant to Section 31490.5, if any, shall be recalculated in accordance with the rate of contribution applicable to the member under the contributory plan, based upon the entry age, and in the same manner as prescribed under the plan as if the contributory plan had been in effect during the entire period of all creditable service, together with regular interest thereon. All contributions paid by the member pursuant to Section 31490.5, if any, shall be credited toward the amount owed under subdivision (a) and all periods of service credited under the plan created by this article shall be transferred to the contributory plan upon completion of payment of that amount.

(c)Any member who applies for service credit under subdivision (e) of Section 31494.1 relating to federal and military service, shall be provided within 90 days of the election date the cost of contribution required for that service, and shall deposit in the retirement fund the amount hereinafter provided in this subdivision by lump sum, or regular monthly installments, or both, over the period of time determined by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of the board of retirement, but in any event prior to the date of application for retirement, date of termination, or death. The amount shall equal the sum of twice the contributions the member would have made to the retirement fund for the length of time as that for which the member has elected to receive credit as service, computed by applying the rate of contribution applicable to the member under the contributory plan, based upon entry age, to the monthly compensation first earnable by the member as of the most recent date of entry into the retirement system, multiplied by the number of months for which the member has elected to receive credit, together with regular interest thereon.
