A. If a member can provide the board with satisfactory evidence that the member performed any work as a state employee before July 1, 1942 or as a teacher before July 1, 1947, the member must be granted one year of service credit for each year in which any work was performed, except that:  
(1) For the first year of service under this paragraph, service credit may be earned only from the date of beginning work to the end of the year;  
(2) During the calendar year 1942, the maximum amount of prior service credit that may be earned for work as a state employee is 1/2 year; and  
(3) Prior service credit for work as a state employee must be calculated on the basis of calendar years and for work as a teacher on the basis of school years.   [RR 2023, c. 2, Pt. B, §103 (COR).]
B. Service credit for prior service shall be granted for work as a teacher to a member, if the member pays into the Members' Contribution Fund 5% of the salary received during that service.
