Dear Stephanie:
We are pleased to enclose a model ordinance for your city to adopt:
Restricted Prior Service Credit
This option allows a member city to grant restricted prior service credit to employees for service
performed for:
• A public authority or agency created by the United States.
• Any state or territory of the United States.
• Any political subdivision of any state of the United States.
• Any public agency or authority created by a state or territory of the United States.
• Previously forfeited service with one of the five statewide retirement systems in Texas
(Texas Municipal Retirement System, Texas County and District Retirement System,
Teacher Retirement System of Texas, Employees Retirement System of Texas, and
Judicial Retirement System of Texas).
• Any institution of higher education at which the person was commissioned as a campus
security personnel employee.
This credit is used to satisfy length of service requirements for "vesting" and service retirement
eligibility; it has no monetary value.
The city's contribution rate will not be immediately affected by the adoption of this provision. Because
Restricted Prior Service Credit allows employees time credit for vesting and retirement eligibility
requirements, it can have an impact on the city's contribution rate in future years as employees apply
for the credits; however, any such rate increase is generally expected to be very slight in any given
year, depending upon the amount of service credit added.
We would appreciate receiving a copy of the enclosed ordinance as soon as possible after its adoption.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 1-800-924-8677.
erely,
Eric W. Davis
