| (a) For out-of-state service credit, military service
credit, work experience service credit purchased under Government
Code §823.404, USERRA service credit, developmental leave service
credit, and unreported service credit, a member may choose to purchase
fewer years of service credit than the total years of service credit
which the member is eligible to purchase. The years of credit shall
be purchased and credited in the order in which they appear on the
TRS bill for the purchase.
(b) For military service and work experience service
credit purchased under Government Code §823.404, the member must
complete payment for the number of years of credit that the member
has chosen to purchase before purchasing additional years of the same
kind of service credit by either lump sum payment or by additional
installment payments. A member purchasing USERRA service credit must
purchase the service credit by paying the cost of the additional year(s)
in a lump sum payment and may not purchase the service credit using
the installment payment method. Until August 31, 2013, a member purchasing
out-of-state service credit, developmental leave service credit, or
unreported service credit under an installment purchase agreement
may enter into a second installment purchase agreement for the same
type of service credit or may pay the lump sum cost of the additional
service credit before completing the purchase of the same type of
service credit under the initial installment purchase agreement.
(c) A member must purchase all withdrawn service credit
and may not choose to purchase this type of service credit in yearly
increments. A member will not receive any credit for withdrawn service
until the entire balance due and all fees have been paid.
