Mississippi Administrative Code
Title 27 - Personnel
Part 210 - PERS, Regulations for Retirement Plans Administered by the Board of Trustees
Chapter 37 - Eligibility of Student Employees for Membership in Retirement Annuity Coverage
Section 27-210-37-100 - Purpose

The purpose of this regulation is to clarify when an employee is deemed a student of a state educational institution employed in temporary, part-time, or intermittent work and thus not eligible for retirement coverage. This regulation confirms and reaffirms prior construction of law, practice and procedure of the Public Employees' Retirement System of Mississippi (PERS). Miss. Code Ann. § 25-11-105 II (1972, as amended) provides that "Students of any state educational institution employed by any agency of the state for temporary, part-time or intermittent work" shall not become members of PERS, any other provisions of Articles 1 and 3 to the contrary notwithstanding.
