Sec. 8-230.9.     Service rendered to Chicago Housing Authority.(a) Within 60 days after beginning full-time employment with the Chicago  Housing Authority (or within 60 days after the effective date of this  amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly, whichever is later), a  person having service credits in this Fund or reinstating service credits  under subsection (c) may elect to participate in this Fund with respect to  that Chicago Housing Authority employment.  An employee who participates in  this Fund with respect to Chicago Housing Authority employment shall not, with  respect to the same period of employment, participate in any other pension  plan for employees of the Authority for which contributions are made by the  Authority, except that this provision shall not prevent an employee from  making elective contributions to a plan of deferred compensation during that  period.  An election under this subsection (a), once made, is irrevocable.Participation under this subsection shall be on the same basis and under  the same conditions as are applicable in the case of participating employees  of the city.  Employee contributions shall be based on the salary actually  received by the employee for that employment.  Employer contributions shall  be paid by the Chicago Housing Authority rather than the city, at a rate to  be determined by the Retirement Board.(b) An employee or former employee of the Chicago Housing Authority who has  established credit under the Fund with regard to service to an employer other  than the Chicago Housing Authority may contribute to the Fund and receive  credit for all periods of full-time employment with the Chicago Housing  Authority occurring prior to 60 days after the effective date of this  amendatory Act, except for those periods for which the employee retains a right  to credit in another public pension fund or retirement system established under  this Code.  Such service credit shall be paid for and granted on the same basis  and under the same conditions as are applicable in the case of employees who  make payment for past service under Section 8-230, provided that the person  must also pay the corresponding employer contributions, and further provided  that the contributions and service credit are permitted under Section 415 of  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  The contributions shall be based on the  salary actually received by the person from the Authority for that employment.(c) A person establishing service credit under subsection (b) or electing  to participate in the Fund under subsection (a) may, at the same time,  reinstate service credit that was terminated through receipt of a refund by  repaying to the Fund the amount of the refund plus interest at the effective  rate from the date of the refund to the date of repayment.(d) An eligible person may establish service credit under subsection (b)  and reinstate service credit under subsection (c) without returning to active  service as an employee under this Article, but the required contributions and  repayment must be received by the Fund before the person begins to receive a  retirement annuity under this Article.
