Section 71-05-04-04 - PaymentThe total dollar amount for repurchase or purchase may be paid in a lump sum or on a monthly quarterly semiannual, or annual basis. Payments may be subject to contribution limitations established under 26 U.S.C. 415. Payments must begin within ninety days of the date the written cost confirmation is prepared. If the installment method is used, the following conditions apply:
1. Simple interest at the actuarial rate of return must accrue monthly on the unpaid balance. Interest is calculated from the fifteenth of each month. 2. The installment schedule may extend while the member is employed by the participating employer but for no longer than a fifteen-year time period. 3. Installment payments may be made by a payroll deduction where available. However, it is the responsibility of the contributor to initiate and terminate the payroll deduction. 4. Payments are due by the fifteenth of the month to be credited for the month. 5. Payments may only be received from a contributor until the fifteenth of the month following the month of the member's termination date with a participating employer. 6. Payments must be greater or equal to fifty dollars per month, large enough to pay the current interest plus a portion of the principal and an amount necessary to complete the payment contract within the fifteen-year time period.
