35 IAC 14-7-2.2 Election, appointment to elected position, or service in other position not covered by PERF or TRF

Sec. 2.2. A PERF or TRF member who is a state elected official or who is a person appointed to a state elected position in a position not covered by PERF or TRF and otherwise meets the criteria set forth in IC 5-10.2-4-8.2 may make an election to begin receiving PERF or TRF benefits while holding the position in accordance with and pursuant to IC 5-10.2-4-8.2. For example, Judge Smith worked as a teacher in a state institution in a TRF covered position for twenty (20) years. He was elected as a superior court judge and immediately left his TRF covered position to serve as a judge and is participating in the judges' retirement system. While serving as a judge, he may make the election to begin receiving his TRF retirement benefit if he meets the requirements of IC 5-10.2-4-8.2.
