(a) Any employee elected by a vote of the people to a county office may elect to become a contributor by exercising such election while in office.
(b) Upon election by a future entrant, credit shall accrue for all service and credit shall be granted for all contributions made by and on his behalf by the county for age and service and widow’s annuity. The employee may make contributions with interest at the effective rate, equal to the sum which would have accumulated to his credit for age and service and widow’s annuity as of the date he becomes a contributor had he made contributions from the date of his assuming elective office to the date he becomes a contributor. Concurrent credit shall be granted for county contributions at the rate in effect during the periods for which the employee made contributions.
Any future entrant who renders at least 2 years of service after such election shall receive credit for all purposes of this Article, including prior service, provided that if he has received a refund of contributions with respect to any such service, credit shall not be granted unless repayment is made of all such refunds, including interest to the date of repayment.
(c) Upon election by a present employee, credit shall be granted and county contributions shall be made for all purposes of this Article for all periods prior to October 1, 1947, during which he was an officer or employee of the county, except as otherwise prescribed in this Section. Such county contributions shall be at the rates in effect for employees under the provisions of “The 1925 Act” during periods for which credit is allowed for the purposes specified in this paragraph together with interest, and shall be considered together with all other contributions in the computation of annuities to which the employee or his widow may be entitled.
Any such present employee may elect to make additional contributions with interest at 4% per annum, equal to the sum which would have accumulated for age and service annuity and widow’s annuity as of the date he became a contributor had he made contributions throughout his entire period of service for which county contributions are provided in this Section. Such additional contributions shall be improved at interest for the same period of time as regular contributions in the case of any other present employee, and shall, together with all other amounts contributed by the employee, be considered as contributions for age and service annuity, widow’s annuity and refund purposes.
(d) Any present employee who received a refund under “The 1925 Act” prior to July 1, 1947, shall receive no credit for service covered by such refund unless repayment is made by him of all such refunds, including interest to the date of repayment.
(e) The time and manner of making additional contributions and repayment of refunds shall be prescribed by the board.
(b) Upon election by a future entrant, credit shall accrue for all service and credit shall be granted for all contributions made by and on his behalf by the county for age and service and widow’s annuity. The employee may make contributions with interest at the effective rate, equal to the sum which would have accumulated to his credit for age and service and widow’s annuity as of the date he becomes a contributor had he made contributions from the date of his assuming elective office to the date he becomes a contributor.
