(c) A participant who withdraws from the fund under subsection (a) and becomes a participant again at a later date is not entitled to service credit for the participant's years of service accrued before the withdrawal, unless the participant pays into the fund the full amount received by the participant when the participant withdrew from the fund plus interest at a rate specified by rule by the board. The board shall grant service credit to a participant for the years of service accrued by the participant before the participant's withdrawal from the fund if the participant makes the repayment required by this section in a lump sum or a series of payments determined by the board, not to exceed five (5) annual installments.
