contributions to the fund, withdrawal from the fund, and eligibility for
and computation of benefits for participants and their survivors are
governed by IC 33-38-7 and IC 33-38-8.

to receive credit for vesting and eligibility purposes to the extent
required by the Family and Medical Leave Act but is not entitled to
receive credit for service for benefit purposes.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, IC 33-38-7, and
IC 33-38-8, a participant is entitled to service credit and benefits in the
amount and to the extent required by the Uniformed Services
