An employee who has withdrawn as a refund the amounts credited for  annuity purposes, and who (i) re-enters service of the employer and  serves for periods  comprising at least 90 days after the date of the last refund  paid to  him  or (ii) has completed at least 2 years of service under a participating  system (as defined in the Retirement Systems Reciprocal Act) other than this  Fund after the date of the last refund,  shall have his annuity rights restored by compliance with the  following provisions:(a) After that 90 day or 2 year period, whichever     applies, he shall repay in full to the fund, while in service, all refunds received, together with interest at the effective rate from the dates of refund to the date of repayment.(b) If payment is not made in a single sum, the     repayment may be made in installments by deductions from salary or otherwise in such manner and amounts and manner as the board, by rule, may prescribe, with interest at the effective rate accruing on unpaid balances.(c) If the employee withdraws from service or dies in     service before full repayment is made, service credit shall be restored in accordance with Section 8-230.3(b).(d) If the employee repays the refund while     participating in a participating system (as defined in the Retirement Systems Reciprocal Act) other than this Fund, the service credit restored must be used for a proportional annuity calculated in accordance with the Retirement Systems Reciprocal Act.

Upon repayment such person shall receive  credit for all annuity purposes in the annuity and benefit fund provided  for in this Article for the period of service covered by the repayment.The amount of refund repayment is considered as salary deductions for  age and service annuity and widow's annuity purposes in the case of a  male person. In the latter case the amount of refund repayment is  allocated in the applicable proportion for age and service and widow's  annuity purposes. Such person shall also be credited with city  contributions for age and service annuity, and widow's annuity if a male  employee, in the amount which would have been credited and accrued if  such person had been a participant in and contributor to the annuity and  benefit fund provided for in this Article during the period of such  service on the basis of his salary during such period.
