§3864. Computation and proof of length of service
A. Before any retirement allowance may be paid to any elective official, a certificate or certificates attesting to the periods of service claimed by the elective official must be filed with the city treasurer. Such certificate must be sworn to before a notary of record and witnessed by two responsible persons. Said certificates must give full information as to service, title of office held and amount of annual salary received during tenure of office.
B. Service of an elective official (except military service as provided in the paragraph next succeeding) rendered prior to the establishment of this plan shall not be creditable or considered in the computation of time served for participation in the benefits of this plan unless such elective official is, on the date of establishment of this plan, serving as an elective official of the municipality.
C. In the event that any elective official while in office shall be drafted or volunteer into the armed services of the United States said elective official, upon his return, will be credited with the time so served at the salary he was earning on being inducted and such time shall be considered creditable service hereunder. The provisions of the preceding paragraph notwithstanding, time so served prior to July 30, 1958 will likewise be credited him, provided that the elective official departed for such service while serving in a position qualifying under this Part and returned to such position directly upon release from such service.
