The employee shall continue to be an active member so long as the employee continues in covered employment. The employee shall cease to be an active member if the employee joins another retirement system in the state which is maintained in whole or in part by public contributions or payments and receives retirement credit for service in that other system for the same position previously covered under this chapter. If an employee joins another publicly maintained retirement system and ceases to be an active member under this chapter, the employee may elect to leave the employee’s accumulated contributions in the retirement fund or receive a refund of the employee’s accumulated contributions in the manner provided for members who are terminating covered employment pursuant to section 97B.53.

A member employed by a community college who elects coverage under an eligible alternative retirement benefits system may withdraw the member’s accumulated contributions effective when coverage under the eligible alternative retirement benefits system commences. A member who is employed by a community college prior to July 1, 1994, must file an election for coverage under the eligible alternative retirement benefits system described in section 260C.14, subsection 17, paragraph “a”, subparagraph (1), with the system and the employing community college within eighteen months of the first day on which coverage commences under the community college’s eligible alternative retirement benefits system described in section 260C.14, subsection 17, paragraph “a”, subparagraph (1), or the employee shall remain a member under this chapter and shall not be eligible to elect to participate in that community college’s eligible alternative retirement benefits system described in section 260C.14, subsection 17, paragraph “a”, subparagraph (1) at a later date. Employees of a community college hired on or after July 1, 1994, must file an election for coverage under an eligible alternative retirement benefits system with the system and the employing community college within sixty days of commencing employment, or the employee shall remain a member under this chapter and shall not be eligible to elect to participate in an eligible alternative retirement benefits system of the community college at a later date.
