TN Code § 8-36-801 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 8 - Public Officers and Employees|Chapter 36 - Retirement Benefits|Part 8 - Reemployment After Retirement|§ 8-36-801. Suspension of Benefits While Reemployed — Further Contributions Optional

  Except as provided in this part, any retired member of the Tennessee consolidated retirement system, or of any superseded system, or of any local retirement fund established pursuant to chapter 35, part 3 of this title who accepts employment in a position covered by the Tennessee consolidated retirement system shall, as a condition of such employment, cease to draw the member's retirement allowance during the period of the employment; however, the member shall keep the member's retirement benefit in the month that the member returns to work.   A retiree restored to employment shall not be required to reenroll as an active member of the retirement system, to make further contributions to the retirement system or to void the retirement payment plan elected by the member. Employees covered by the noncontributory provisions of the system in accordance with § 8-34-206 shall reenroll and accrue service. Any retiree restored to employment who reenrolls as an active member of the retirement system shall be treated as voiding any optional benefit previously elected under § 8-36-601 for purposes of in-service death benefits. Subject to § 8-36-802(c), any such optional benefit previously elected shall be restored upon subsequent retirement.   Notwithstanding subsection (b), any retiree who is hired or rehired in a position covered by the retirement system on or after July 1, 2018, shall reenroll as an active member of the retirement system, make such contributions as are required for the retiree's position, and establish credit for the additional service. This subsection (c) shall not apply to retirees who return to service in a position covered by the retirement system as provided in § 8-36-805, § 8-36-810, § 8-36-818, or § 8-36-821. This subsection (c) shall also not apply to retired members who are employees of a political subdivision that subsequently elects to cover its employees under the retirement system, unless the employee was a member or former member of a preexisting defined benefit plan maintained by that political subdivision.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 8 - Public Officers and Employees|Chapter 36 - Retirement Benefits|Part 8 - Reemployment After Retirement|§ 8-36-802. Reenrollment Upon Reemployment or Local System's Inclusion in Consolidated System

  If a retiree restored to employment reenrolls as an active member of the retirement system, the excess, if any, of the retired member's accumulated contributions at retirement over the sum of the retirement allowance payments received by the retired member shall be credited to the retiree as accumulated contributions.   Any creditable service to which the retiree was entitled when the retiree retired shall be restored to the retiree, and upon subsequent retirement, the retiree's retirement allowance shall be based on the retiree's compensation and creditable service before and after the period of prior retirement.    If the retiree does not complete three (3) years of creditable service after restoration to service, the part of the retiree's retirement allowance upon subsequent retirement payable with respect to creditable service rendered before the period of the retiree's previous retirement, or included in the computation of the retiree's previous retirement allowance, shall be equal to the retiree's previous retirement allowance with all of the provisions of the retirement payment plan elected by the retiree, with respect to such part of the retiree's retirement allowance.   If the retiree completes three (3) years or more of creditable service after restoration to service, the retirement payment plan elected by the retiree shall be void. Upon subsequent retirement, the retiree shall again elect the payment plan under which the retiree's retirement benefits shall be paid. The benefits shall be recomputed under such plan based on the total service and salary credit accrued by the retiree both before and after the retiree's previous retirement, unless such recomputation results in the retiree receiving a lower retirement allowance than the retiree would have received under that plan prior to restoration to service. If the recomputation results in a lower allowance, then the retiree's retirement allowance under the payment plan elected upon subsequent retirement shall be computed pursuant to subdivision (c)(1). Notwithstanding this subsection (c) or any other law to the contrary, the retirement benefits of any retiree who previously elected the social security leveling retirement payment plan pursuant to § 8-36-601(c) shall not be recomputed pursuant to this subdivision (c)(2) unless the retiree pays to the retirement system the difference in benefits received under the social security leveling plan during the retiree's previous retirement and the regular retirement payment plan. Any such retiree who fails to make such payment shall have such retiree's benefits computed pursuant to subdivision (c)(1).

A retired state judge holding court hereunder shall be paid, in addition to the retirement allowance for the period during which the retired state judge sits as judge, the difference between the retired state judge's retirement allowance for the period and the amount the retired state judge would receive for that period if the retired state judge were an active judge of the same court.   The chief justice shall certify to the judicial cost accountant the date on which such service commences and the date on which such service terminates.    Any retired judge assigned to duty under this section who has not attained the maximum creditable service shall be entitled to receive credit for services performed in such duty; provided, that:  Such judge elects to receive such credit by notice to the board; and   Such judge authorizes the deduction of the applicable contributions as set forth under chapter 37, part 2 of this title.

Notwithstanding this subsection (d) to the contrary, any retired judge assigned to duty under this section on or after July 1, 2018, shall reenroll as an active member of the retirement system, make such contributions as are required for the retiree's position, and establish credit for the additional service.

Such person's compensation hereunder shall include such person's retirement allowance, plus the difference between such person's retirement allowance and the amount that person would receive if that person were an active or regular judge of the same court.   The chief justice shall certify to the administrative director of the courts the date on which such service commences, and the date on which such service terminates.
