Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I became a member on August 3, 1972, but I left the retirement system and took my money out in 1973. I rejoined retirement in July 1975 and bought back my time, do I still have to make contributions when I have 30 years of service?

Yes, even though you redeposited (bought back) your time, we look at the most recent date of entry in the retirement system, which in this case is 1975, to calculate 30-year membership. Your redeposit, however will be counted in your total years of service when determining your retirement benefit.
