§3043. Withdrawal benefits
A. Upon complete separation from service, any member who is not eligible for a service retirement annuity shall be entitled to receive a refund of his accumulated contributions, without interest. Any member withdrawing from service who does not receive a refund and later returns to service shall receive credit for the amount of total service in force at the time of his separation from service. Any member receiving a refund shall thereby ipso facto forfeit, waive, and relinquish all accrued right in the system including all credited service. The board may, in its discretion, withhold payment of a refund for a period not to exceed one year after receipt of an application from a member.
B. Any member who has received a refund shall be considered a new member upon subsequent reemployment if such person qualified for membership under the provision hereof. After the completion of at least five years of continuous membership service following his latest reemployment, such member shall have the right to make repayment to the system of the amount or amounts previously received as refund, including regular interest from the dates of refund to the date of repayment. Upon the restoration of such refunds, as herein provided, such member shall have reinstated to his account all credited service represented by the refunds of which repayment has been made. Repayment of refunds by any member shall include all refunds received by a member prior to the date of his last withdrawal from service and shall be made in a single sum.
