Any person who was eligible for membership but was not enrolled as a member for whatever reason may upon application receive credit for the time such person was otherwise eligible for membership. The person’s employer must certify the inclusive dates of employment and the salary earned by the member during these dates, or the person shall submit such other evidence in lieu thereof as shall be requested by the board. The person, his employer, and any other person submitting evidence on his behalf, shall certify all evidence by an affidavit in authentic form. Should any facts or evidence disqualify him from benefits, the person shall lose all rights to any benefits from this system. In order to receive this credit the person and the employer shall pay the greater of an amount equal to the employee and employer contributions which would have been paid had the person been enrolled at the time of employment, plus interest as determined by the board, which shall be not less than seven percent compounded annually, or an amount which, on an actuarial basis, totally offsets the increase in accrued liability of the system resulting from the receipt of the credit by the person. The amount payable shall be calculated by use of the actuarial funding method, assumptions, and tables in use by the system at the time of the person’s application for credit. The fund shall accept as the employee’s payment of amounts payable by the employee under this Section any assets held in an individual retirement account or annuity or a plan qualified under Section 401(a) or Section 403(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or a governmental deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 457(g) of the Internal Revenue Code or a tax sheltered annuity or other arrangement under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
