Who needs purchase of service credit?

1. Individuals who have previously withdrawn their service credit: If you withdrew your retirement service credit and now want to restore it, you may need to fill out a purchase of service credit form. This allows you to buy back the service credit you previously withdrew.
2. Individuals with non-contributory service: Some retirement systems allow individuals who have non-contributory service (time during employment where no contributions were made to the retirement system) to purchase that service credit. This can increase the total creditable service years, potentially resulting in enhanced retirement benefits.

In both cases, it is essential to consult with your retirement system or employer to understand the specific eligibility requirements and process for purchasing service credit. Each retirement system may have its own rules and regulations regarding the purchase of service credit.
