Section 35IAC2-1-3. Effective date

   (a) Enrollment and pension fund rights begin on the later of the actual hire date on the membership record document or the admission approval date of the 1977 Fund.

  (b) If an otherwise qualified active member's enrollment effective date is or was delayed due to error or omission by the local board or hiring authority:

(1) the member or the member's employer may purchase at the actuarial cost such service that would have been credited to the 1977 Fund but for the error or omission; and

(2) the age restriction is waived if the member was age eligible for the 1977 Fund at the time of application.

The determination as to whether there was an error or omission causing delay is in the sole discretion of the board.
