Title 807 CMR 3.00 - RETIREMENT AND CREDIT FOR SERVICE
Section 3.03 - Credit for Massachusetts Non-membership Public Service
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024
(1) Except as provided in 807 CMR 10.00: Maternity Service Purchases, the Board will allow proportional credit for any period of non-membership service rendered in a Massachusetts governmental unit, the purchase of which is authorized under M.G.L. c. 32, § 3(5), 4(1)(o) and 4(2)(c). Any such purchase will be allowed only after submission of documentation satisfactory to the Board. Such non-membership service includes, but is not limited to, service as a teacher on a per diem substitute basis or on any other basis that is less than half time.
(2) Proportional Credit means that for any year during which the member was ineligible for membership in a contributory retirement system and service was rendered as an employee on a part time, provisional, temporary, temporary provisional, seasonal or intermittent basis for a Massachusetts governmental unit, after purchase the member will receive as creditable service that percentage of full time credit equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days or hours actually worked during that year, and the denominator of which is the number of days or hours that would have been worked by a full time employee during that year as determined by the Board.
(3) The member may purchase less than all non-membership service available for purchase; provided, however, that in such event the member must purchase the most recent time first.
