Louisiana Administrative Code
Title 58 - RETIREMENT
Part I - Louisiana State Employees' Retirement System
Chapter 17 - Purchases of Service by Reinstated Employees
Section I-1705 - Service Credit for Dual Employment

A. Any active member who qualifies to purchase service credit under the provisions of R.S. 11:191.B may purchase the service credit to which he would have been entitled in the system had he been an active contributing member of the retirement system during the full term of his employment by paying to the system an amount that totally offsets the actuarial cost of the receipt of the service credit.

B. The employer for that employee may pay one-half of the actuarial cost of the receipt of the service credit, thereby reducing the member's cost to one-half of the actuarial cost of the service credit. If the employer pays one-half of the actuarial cost for one employee, it shall be obligated to pay one-half of the actuarial cost of all employees who qualify to purchase this service credit.

C. The full amount must be received by the system, whether the member is paying the full cost, or the employer is paying one-half and the member one-half, prior to any service credit being attributed to a member's account. The amount must be paid in a lump sum.

D. A fee of at least $75 (to be set by the system's actuary) must be paid to the system's actuary by the individual requesting the calculation. Payment must be made before the request for calculation will be forwarded to the actuary.
