Ohio Admin. Code 5505-5-02 - Prior service credit
(A)
A member of the
highway patrol retirement system may purchase retirement credit for full-time
service as a member of a state or municipal retirement system as defined in
sections 5505.20,
5505.201, and
5505.40 of the Revised
Code.
(B)
"Full-time service" is defined as a period of
employment during which the employee regularly worked substantially the same
number of hours as would a member of the highway patrol retirement
system.
(C)
Credit may not be purchased for periods of employment
during which the employee was not considered to be full-time, nor can these
periods be combined for full-time credit.
(1)
The member shall
provide documented proof of full-time employment as required by
HPRS.
(2)
In the absence of clear documentation to the contrary,
if the record of contributions indicates that the member was not receiving pay
equivalent to or greater than the minimum wage in effect at the time on a
forty-hour per week basis, it shall be presumed that the employment was not
full-time.
(D)
Credit may not be purchased for periods of employment
during which credit was purchased from any other state or municipal retirement
system.
(E)
Upon application to purchase prior service credit, the
appropriate retirement system shall certify, to the satisfaction of HPRS, the
service dates and refunded contributions of the member on the
application.
(F)
When prior service credit purchased under sections
5505.20,
5505.201,
5505.40, and division (C) of
section 5505.17 of the Revised Code is
purchased in increments, the cost for purchasing a portion of this service
credit shall be calculated as a proportionate part of the total
cost.
(G)
Nothing in this rule shall be construed to permit a
member's purchase of credit for purposes of meeting the minimum number of years
of service necessary to receive a pension.
