30    of  service  credit in that capacity may elect to have any or
31    all of his credits under this Article for service  not  as  a

 1    Board,  equal  to  (1)  the  difference between the amount of
 2    employee contributions actually contributed by the  applicant
 3    for  such  service  not  as a deputy sheriff, and the amounts
 4    that would have been contributed had such contributions  been
 5    made  at the rates applicable to service as a deputy sheriff,

19    contributions been made at the rates applicable to service as
20    a  corrections officer, plus (2) interest thereon at the rate
21    of 3% per  annum,  compounded  annually,  from  the  date  of

 6    the  County  Sheriff's  Department  before  the  date  of the
 7    election included as service as  a  deputy  sheriff  for  the
 8    purposes   of   this   Section,   by   making  an  additional
 9    contribution for each year of  such  service,  equal  to  the
10    difference  between  the  amount  that  he  or she would have

12    effect  for  members  of the County Police Department and the
13    amount actually contributed, plus  interest  thereon  at  the

15    the date of becoming a contributor as to any present employee
16    in  paragraph  (b)(2)  or (d) of Section 9-109, or any future

31    under provisions of this Article other than Section  9-128.1,
32    may   receive   a   refund  of  the  difference  between  the
33    contributions made as a deputy sheriff who is a member of the

12    the contributions that would have been made for that  service
13    if  it  were not as a corrections officer, including interest

21    to law to any county pension fund in force on  the  effective
22    date,  with  interest  on  both such amounts at 4% per annum,
23    equals the sum that would have been to his credit  from  sums
24    deducted  from  his  salary  if deductions at the rate herein
25    stated had been made  during  his  entire  service  until  he
26    attained age 65, with interest at 4% per annum for the period
27    subsequent  to  his  attainment  of  age  65. Such deductions
28    beginning July 1, 1947 for future entrants and beginning July

31    service.
32        (b)  Concurrently with each  employee  contribution,  the
33    county  shall  contribute beginning on the effective date and
34    prior to July 1, 1947, 5 3/4%, and beginning on July 1,  1947

 5    date the age and service annuity for such employee is  fixed,
 6    each  future  entrant  contribution,  and  each corresponding
 7    county contribution shall be allocated to the account of  and

 9    provided, that no such credit shall be allowed to the  extent
10    that  it results in a duplication of credits or benefits, and
11    neither shall such credit be allowed to the  extent  that  it
12    was or may be forfeited by the application for and acceptance
13    of  a  refund  from  the  fund  from  which  the employee was
14    transferred.
15        (6)  Overtime or extra service shall not be  included  in

10             the fund at the  time  such  lump  sum  payment  was

29             employee's date of withdrawal  for  the  purpose  of
30             computing the effective date of the annuity.
