1. When seven years have elapsed since a member has performed active service provided, however, that no part of such seven year period shall run during such time as a member, with at least five years of member service credit, shall serve as an officer or employee of the federal government or the United Nations or other international organizations of which the United States of America is a member.
2. When a member shall die.
3. When a member shall retire.
4. When a member, who is not vested, withdraws accumulated contributions in accordance with the provisions of section five hundred seventeen of this article.
