38-853 - Arizona Statutes

38-853. Transfer of credited service A. A member who terminates employment with an employer and accepts, within two years, a position with the same or another employer participating in the system shall have the member's credited service transferred to the member's record with the new employer provided the member leaves the member's accumulated contributions on deposit with the fund. The termination of employment shall not constitute a break in service. However, the period not employed shall not be considered as service. B. The new employer's account shall be credited with the member's accumulated contributions plus the amount, if any, necessary to equal the increase in the actuarial present value of projected benefits to the extent funded on a market value basis as of the most recent actuarial valuation resulting from the transfer as calculated by the system's actuary using the actuarial methods and assumptions adopted by the board.
