Service Credit must be received by the Plan Administrator by the<br />

later of July 1, 2000 or within 3 years after first returning to University<br />

employment as an Active Member from the Leave, but only while an<br />

Credit within the prescribed period shall constitute an irrevocable<br />

waiver of the right to establish Service Credit for such Leave period.<br />

Payments must be completed while an Active Member over a period<br />

of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years from the date of the election in accordance<br />

including, without limitation, how the 3-year rule, the 5-year rule and<br />

minimum length of payment period rule shall be applied.<br />

paid to the total amount of payments required.<br />

(B) if a Member is no longer an Active Member of the Plan<br />

service, such Member shall receive a proportionate<br />

amount of the Service Credit eligible to be established<br />

amount of the payments required.<br />

(ii) For elections to establish Service Credit received by the Plan<br />

Administrator on or after July 1, 1997, payments shall be made<br />

only on a pretax basis in accordance with IRC §414(h) and are<br />
