§ 11:1516 — Repayment of withdrawn accumulated employee contributions

A. If a former member who had withdrawn his accumulated employee contributions again becomes a member of the fund, he may repay to the fund in a lump sum the amount he withdrew plus compounded interest at the rate of eight percent per year computed from the date of withdrawal. Upon such repayment, the member shall be credited for all service which was canceled and forfeited at the time of the prior refund and all other rights shall be restored.
B. Any payment for service credit pursuant to this Section received by the fund on or after January 1, 2002, may be accomplished by a trustee-to-trustee transfer of monies to this fund from an annuity in compliance with Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor thereto, or from a deferred compensation plan in compliance with Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor thereto, so long as such transfer otherwise complies with all other applicable provisions of federal and state law.
NOTE: See Acts 2003, No. 687, §2, relative to retroactive application.
