§738. Regaining of membership by retirees
A. Regardless of age, if a retiree of this system is engaged or hereafter engages in employment that otherwise would render him eligible for membership in this system, he may regain membership in this system at his option upon returning all retirement benefits received from this system, plus compound interest per annum at the board-approved actuarial valuation rate thereon from date of receipt until paid. In addition, he shall pay into the system an amount equal to the employee and employer contributions that would have been paid had he become a member at the commencement of the resumption of covered employment, plus compound interest per annum at the board-approved actuarial valuation rate thereon from date of service until paid.
B. Upon such regaining of membership, he shall receive service credit for all service rendered since becoming so reemployed and thereafter shall be subject to the same conditions as are other members of the system that are not in conflict herewith.
C. Upon regaining of membership, the member shall be required to remain in active service for at least six years before being eligible for a retirement benefit recomputation. If the member does not remain in active service as a contributing member for six years, the employee contributions he contributed since regaining membership, without interest thereon, shall be returned to him, and the original benefit he was receiving shall be resumed and shall include any applicable cost of living adjustment that he would have received.
