Here is a description of some of the various types of credit that may be purchased by a member of the Employees Retirement System or Municipal Employees Retirement System. If you return to service after taking a refund of your contributions upon separation from service, you may restore your credits by paying into the System the amount you withdrew, plus interest, after completing one year of service from the date of your return. We will check your file and bill you for the withdrawal purchase. If you worked a probationary period during which retirement contributions were not withheld from your pay, you may be eligible to purchase your probationary time when you become a permanent employee. Employment during the probationary period must have been at least 20 hours per week and not casual nor seasonal.
