Any individual who is a vested participant in this Plan and who has earned creditable service under any other retirement plan established by the state of Missouri or any political subdivision or instrumentality of the state and who is not vested under such other plan may purchase service credit under this Plan. The amount of creditable service which may b e purchased may not exceed the years of creditable service under the other Plan. B. Any individual who is a vested participant in this Plan and who was employed in nonfederal public employment in Missouri and not covered under a retirement plan in such position may purchase service credit under this Plan. The amount of creditable service which may be purchased may not exceed the years of emp loyment in such uncovered position. C. Any purchase of creditable service under this section shall be governed by rules established by the Board. Such purchase shall be effected by the employee's paying to the Plan an amount determined by the Plan's actuary using the actuarial assumptions applied in determining the costs of benefits under this Plan at the date of the employee's election. The payment may be made in a single sum or in equal monthly installments or in a combination of both. Any installment payments shall be made over a period not to exceed two years, measured from the date of election, or prior to the commencement of benefits under the Plan, whichever is earlier. Interest, compounded annually at the actuarially assumed rate used by the Plan, shall accrue on the unpaid balance from the date of the election. A rollover or trustee-to- trustee transfer from another qualified retirement plan under Code sections 401(a), 403(a), or 403(b), or a governmental sec tion 457(b) plan or individual retirement account may be used to make payment for creditable service purchased. If full payment for creditable service is not received within the prescribed time period, all partial payments shall be refunded and no creditable service shall be received. D. Payments made for such creditable prior service pursuant to section shall be treated by the Plan as would contributions made by the City and shall not be subject to any prohibition on employee contributions or refund provisions in effect at the time of enactment of this this Section 2.64.225. E. Creditable service purchased under this section shall only apply in determining the amount of retirement benefit payable to such employee under Section 2.64.400 or 2.64.410 and shall not be used in determining the time at which an employee has attained early retirement age or normal retirement age under the Plan.
