member any of whose service has been included in the federal system.
This reduction shall not apply to a member employed by a contracting

21355. Notwithstanding Sections 21353, 21354, and 21354.1, if the
modification to the federal-state agreement occurred on or after July
1, 1971, whenever the fraction of final compensation is reduced
pursuant to Section 21353, 21354, or 21354.1 because service of a
member has been included in the federal system, the reduction shall
apply only as to service after the effective date of the member's
coverage under the federal system. This section shall apply to those
members whose effective date of retirement is on or after July 1,
1971.

21356. (a) A member who elects, pursuant to Article 1.7 (commencing
with Section 19996.30) of Chapter 7 of Part 2.6 or pursuant to
Sections 21110 through 21115, to participate in partial service
retirement, while so participating, shall receive a reduced service
retirement allowance. The reduced service retirement allowance shall
be the amount of the service retirement allowance to which the
employee would otherwise have been entitled had he or she fully
retired on the effective date of the partial service retirement,
reduced by the percentage of the employee's full-time work which the
employee has elected to work while on partial service retirement.
(b) Article 6 (commencing with Section 21450) shall not apply to
an employee who is participating in reduced worktime for partial
service retirement.
(c) For a member who elects pursuant to Article 1.7 (commencing
with Section 19996.30) of Chapter 7 of Part 2.6 or pursuant to
Sections 21110 through 21115 to become fully retired, the current
service pension, or current and prior service pensions, as the case
may be, upon his or her full service retirement shall be (1) the sum
of a current service pension calculated on the basis of service
rendered during participation in reduced worktime in accordance with
the formula applicable to his or her current service pension, plus
his or her current service pension, or current and prior service
pensions, as the case may be, as it was prior to his or her full
service retirement, provided that full service retirement occurs
before he or she renders, while participating in reduced worktime for
partial service retirement, one year of state service credited under
this system; or (2) if he or she has rendered one year or more of
state service while participating in reduced worktime for partial
service retirement, a current service pension, or current and prior
service pensions, as the case may be, based on the total years of
service with which the member is entitled to be credited, calculated
on the basis of the formula currently applicable to the employment in
which the service was rendered. A member shall receive service
credit for service during participation in reduced worktime for
partial retirement and service credited at the time of the election
to participate in reduced worktime for partial retirement.

21357. (a) For a member reinstated from service retirement or
partial service retirement, the current service pension, or current
and prior service pensions, as the case may be, upon his or her
service retirement subsequent to the reinstatement, shall be the sum
of (1) a current service pension calculated on the basis of service
rendered after reinstatement in accordance with the formula
applicable to him or her in that service and membership, plus, (2) if
the subsequent retirement occurs before he or she renders, after his
or her reinstatement, at least one year of state service credited
under this system, or if the subsequent service or disability
retirement occurs after his or her reinstatement from service or
disability retirement pursuant to an election under Section 21465,
his or her current service pension, or current and prior service
pensions, as the case may be, as it was prior to his or her
reinstatement, adjusted for any service on which the pension was
based that was included in coverage of the federal system during
reinstatement according to the formula applicable to the service in
employment for which he or she was retired, and further adjusted
according to any change after reinstatement in the provisions
governing the calculation of his or her pension that would have
applied to him or her had he or she continued in retirement but been
subject to the formula applied in the first adjustment; or, for state
miscellaneous and state industrial service subject to Section 21076,
in lieu of (2), plus (3) a current service pension, or current and
prior service pensions, as the case may be, as it would have been
prior to his or her reinstatement under the formula applicable to
Section 21076, adjusted for any service on which the pension was
based that was included in coverage of the federal system during
reinstatement according to the formula applicable to the service in
employment for which he or she was retired, and further adjusted
according to any change after reinstatement in the provisions
governing the calculations of his or her pension that would have
applied to him or her had he or she continued in retirement and been
subject to the formula applicable to Section 21076, or if he or she
has rendered one year or more of state service after reinstatement,
in lieu of (2) or (3), plus (4), a current service pension based on
current service rendered prior to reinstatement, calculated on the
basis of the formula currently applicable to the employment in which
the service was rendered but on the basis of an age taken to the
preceding completed quarter year but not less than the minimum
retirement age applicable to him or her at his or her last retirement
and determined by deducting from his or her age at his or her
subsequent retirement, the aggregate time during which he or she was
under retirement. For a member reinstated from nonindustrial
disability retirement, the current service pension upon his or her
service retirement after attaining an age one year less than the
minimum age at which he or she could have retired without an
actuarial discount because of age in the employment from which he or
she was last retired, or upon his or her disability retirement after
attaining the minimum age, and subsequent to reinstatement, shall be
calculated in the manners described in the preceding sentence, but
the age determined upon subsequent retirement after rendering at
least one year of state service credited under this system shall not
be taken at less than one year less than the minimum age if the
subsequent retirement is for service, or the minimum age if the
retirement is for disability.
(b) The current service pension otherwise payable under this
section to a member whose allowance prior to reinstatement was paid
pursuant to his or her election under Section 21461 shall be reduced
by the actuarial equivalent, on the date of retirement subsequent to
reinstatement, of the amount (converted as below), if any, by which:
(1) The total amount paid in the period during which a temporary
annuity was included in the payments, reduced by the total amount
that would have been payable during that period had the election not
been made, exceeds
(2) The excess of the total amount that would have been payable,
had the election not been made, during the time subsequent to that
period and prior to reinstatement, over the total amount actually
paid during that time.
The amount determined by the above formula shall be converted to
an amount equaling the actuarial equivalent on the date of
reinstatement and this latter amount shall be the basis of the
actuarial equivalent on the date of retirement subsequent to
reinstatement.
Actuarial equivalents required by this section shall be based on
the interest rate and mortality tables in use by this system on the
date of retirement subsequent to reinstatement.
(c) Notwithstanding this section, or any other provision of this
part, the current service pension payable to any member subject to
this section who rendered one year or more of state service credited
under this system after reinstatement on retirement for service
subsequent to reinstatement from service retirement for any credited
service for which a current service pension was paid prior to
reinstatement shall not be less than the current service pension that
would be payable on the date of the subsequent retirement had the
member not been reinstated. For state miscellaneous and state
industrial service subject to Section 21076, the current service
pension payable for any credited service for which a current service
pension was paid prior to reinstatement shall not be less than the
current service pension that would have been payable on the date of
the subsequent retirement had the member's retirement been subject to
the formula under Section 21076 and had not been reinstated,
adjusted, however, by any reduction under this section because of an
election under Section 21461 and, for any service so credited that
was included in coverage of the federal system during reinstatement,
according to the formula applicable to the service in employment from
which he or she was retired.

21358. Notwithstanding Section 21357, the retirement allowance of a
state member, other than a university member, payable upon
retirement within one year of reinstatement from an earlier
retirement of six months or less and based on service prior to
reinstatement shall not include any allowance based on service
credited under Section 20963.
This section shall not apply to school members.

21359. Notwithstanding Section 21357, in determining the method of
calculation of subsequent retirement benefits for a university
employee who, on the date of reemployment and reinstatement from
retirement, did not have the right to elect membership in this
system, the service rendered under the University of California
Retirement Plan after reemployment and reinstatement shall be
considered service rendered under this system.

21362. (a) The current service pension for patrol members and the
combined current and prior service pensions for local safety members
with respect to local safety service rendered to a contracting agency
that is subject to this section is a pension derived from the
contributions of the employer sufficient when added to the service
retirement annuity that is derived from the accumulated normal
contributions of the patrol member or local safety member at the date
of his or her retirement to equal the fraction of one-fiftieth of
his or her final compensation set forth opposite his or her age at
retirement taken to the preceding completed quarter year, in the
following table, multiplied by the number of years of patrol service
and local safety service subject to this section with which he or she
is credited at retirement:

55 and over....................... 1.3500

(b) (1) Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, the
current service pension and the combined current and prior service
pensions under this section for all service to all employers shall
not exceed an amount that, when added to the service retirement
annuity related to that service, equals 75 percent of final
compensation.
(2) For state members, with respect to service for all state
employers under this section, the benefit shall not exceed:
(A) Eighty percent of final compensation for state members who
retire on or after January 1, 1995, and prior to January 1, 1999.
(B) Eighty-five percent of final compensation for state members
who retire on or after January 1, 1999, and prior to January 1, 2000.
(C) Ninety percent of final compensation for state members who
retire on or after January 1, 2000.
(3) For local safety members who retire on or after January 1,
2000, the benefit shall not exceed 85 percent of final compensation.
(4) If the pension relates to service to more than one employer
and would otherwise exceed that maximum, the pension payable with
respect to each employer shall be reduced in the same proportion as
the allowance based on service to that employer bears to the total
allowance computed as though there were no limit, so that the total
of the pensions shall equal the maximum. Where a state or local
member retiring on or after January 1, 1995, has service under this
section with both state and local agency employers, the higher
maximum shall apply and the additional benefit shall be funded by
increasing the member's pension payable with respect to the employer
for whom the member performed the service subject to the higher
maximum.
(c) This section shall not apply to any contracting agency, unless
and until the agency elects to be subject to the provisions of this
section by amendment to its contract made in the manner prescribed
for approval of contracts or, in the case of contracts made after the
date this section is operative, by express provision in the contract
making the contracting agency subject to the provisions of this
section.
(d) This section shall supersede Section 21363, 21366, 21368,
21369, or 21370, whichever is then applicable, with respect to patrol
and local safety members who retire after the date this section
becomes applicable to their respective employers.
(e) This section shall not apply to state safety or state peace
officer/firefighter members.
(f) With respect to patrol members, this section shall only apply
to patrol members who are not employed by the state on or after
January 1, 2000.
(g) The Legislature reserves, with respect to any member subject
to this section, the right to provide for the adjustment of
industrial disability retirement allowances because of earnings of a
retired person and modification of the conditions and qualifications
required for retirement for disability as it may find appropriate
because of the earlier ages of service retirement made possible by
the benefits under this section.

21362.2. (a) Upon attaining the age of 50 years or more, the
combined current and prior service pension for state patrol members
and for local safety members with respect to local safety service
rendered to a contracting agency that is subject to the provisions of
this section is a pension derived from the contributions of the
employer sufficient when added to the service retirement annuity that
is derived from the accumulated normal contributions of the member
at the date of his or her retirement to equal 3 percent of his or her
final compensation at retirement, multiplied by the number of years
of patrol service or local safety service subject to this section
with which he or she is credited at retirement.
(b) In no event shall the current service pension and the combined
current and prior service pensions under this section for all
service to all employers exceed an amount that, when added to the
service retirement annuity related to that service, equals 85 percent
of final compensation. For state patrol members with respect to
service for all state employers under this section, the benefit shall
not exceed 90 percent of final compensation. If the pension relates
to service to more than one employer and would otherwise exceed that
maximum, the pension payable with respect to each employer shall be
reduced in the same proportion as the allowance based on service to
that employer bears to the total allowance computed as though there
were no limit, so that the total of the pensions shall equal the
maximum. Where a state or local member has service under this section
with both state and local agency employers, the higher maximum shall
apply and the additional benefit shall be funded by increasing the
member's pension payable with respect to the employer for whom the
member performed the service subject to the higher maximum.
(c) For patrol members employed by the state on or after January
1, 2000, this section shall supersede Section 21362.
(d) This section shall not apply to state safety or state peace
officer/firefighter members.
(e) This section shall not apply to any contracting agency nor its
employees unless and until the agency elects to be subject to the
provisions of this section by amendment to its contract made in the
manner prescribed for approval of contracts or, in the case of
contracts made after the date this section becomes operative, by
express provision in the contract making the contracting agency
subject to this section. The operative date of this section for a
local safety member shall be the effective date of the amendment to
his or her employer's contract electing to be subject to this
section.
