SECTION 27.5. Termination of Right to Benefits

Withdrawal of an account terminates the right to benefits for all service prior to the date of withdrawal, unless credit is reinstated as provided by the retirement law. However, if a member has five years of service credit on or before August 31, 2014 but terminates membership by withdrawal and resumes membership on or after September 1, 2014 and reinstates the withdrawn service credit, the member is subject to the provisions of Government Code §824.202(a-2), (b-2), and (d-2) and §29.1(e) of this title (relating to Eligibility for Service Retirement).
