§146. Credit for certain Louisiana State University service

A. Any person who is now and has been a contributing member for at least eighteen months of any actuarially funded retirement system in this state which is supported in whole or in part with public funds shall be eligible to obtain credit in the system of which he is a member for all service rendered with Louisiana State University during that period of time when the university had a nonfunded university retirement plan, or during that period of time when the member was in a retirement system for federal employees, if such person had at least eighteen months of service with Louisiana State University during such time or at least eighteen months in a retirement system for federal employees, provided the member pays into the system an amount which on an actuarial basis, totally offsets the increase in accrued liability of the system resulting from the purchase of the service credit. The amount payable shall be calculated by use of the actuarial funding method, assumptions, and tables in use by the system at the time of the purchase of the service credit. However, the service hereby purchased shall not include military service credit.

B. In order to receive such credit, the member shall make application to the governing authority of the system in which he seeks to obtain the credit and shall furnish a detailed statement of all service for which credit is claimed, in such form as the board requires.

C. Credit obtained under the provisions of this Section shall be usable solely for purposes of meeting the eligibility requirements for retirement from the system of which the person is a member.
