b)         A transfer under this Section may be made before the Participant has had a Severance from Employment.

c)         A transfer may be made under this Section only if the transfer is either for the purchase of permissive service credit (as defined in section 415(n)(3)(A) of the Code) under the receiving defined benefit governmental plan or a repayment to which section 415 of the Code does not apply by reason of section 415(k)(3) of the Code.
