§ 97A.16. 97A.16 Withdrawal of contributions — repayment.
1. Commencing July 1, 1990, if an active member, in service on or after that date, terminates service, other than by death or disability, the member may elect to withdraw the member’s contributions under section 97A.8, subsection 1, paragraphs “f” and “h”, together with interest thereon at a rate determined by the board of trustees. If a member withdraws contributions as provided in this section, the member shall be deemed to have waived all claims for other benefits from the system for the period of membership service for which the contributions are withdrawn. 2. A layoff for an indefinite period of time shall be deemed to be a termination of service for the purposes of this section. A member who withdraws the member’s contributions as provided in this section following a layoff for an indefinite period of time and who is subsequently recalled to service may repay the contributions. The contributions repaid by the member for such service shall be equal to the amount of contributions withdrawn, plus interest computed based upon the investment interest rate assumption established by the board of trustees as of the time the contributions are repaid. However, the member must make the contributions within two years of the date of the member’s return to service. The period of membership service for which contributions are repaid shall be treated as though the contributions were never withdrawn. 90 Acts, ch 1240, §14; 93 Acts, ch 44, §2 Referred to in §97A.6, 411.31 Wed Dec 10 22:35:34 2025 Iowa Code 2026, Section 97A.16 (23, 0)
