Key Takeaways

•You can choose to not count all your old work time for your pension.
•If you do this, you get some money back or pay less based on how much of your old work time you want to count.
•The money amount is calculated using 2% of the total pay you got during the old work time you want to count.

Example

If you worked 10 years at a job but only want to count 5 years for your new pension.

You'll get some money back or pay less because you're only counting half of your old work time. The amount is 2% of the pay you got during those 5 years.

§ 32329 Partial Service Credit Election

Any person electing to come within this chapter may elect not to claim full credit for his prior service, but may elect to receive credit for only a fractional part of such prior service. In such event, he shall receive a refund or make deposit based on the amount to his credit in the other pension system as against the fractional part of the prior service claimed. The amount necessary for such credit shall be determined on a 2 percent basis applied to the aggregate salary or wages paid during the period of prior service claimed. (Added by Stats. 1947, Ch. 424.)
