Section ETF 10.05 - Creditable service for Milwaukee teachers

Creditable service for Milwaukee teachers shall be granted for teaching services performed for governmental agencies other than the city of Milwaukee pursuant to ss.,, and, 1979 Stats., only if the requirements in subs. (1) to (6) are satisfied:

(1) The teacher was a member, as defined in s., 1979 Stats., of the former Milwaukee teachers retirement fund on August 31, 1958, has not received a separation benefit since that date and the teaching service for which creditable service is requested was prior to September 1, 1958.
(2) The participant has 10 or more years of teaching service in the city of Milwaukee and the outside teaching credit granted, when added to the participant's separate, combined and formula teaching service in the city of Milwaukee, does not exceed 35 years for benefit computation purposes. If at the time of a benefit computation the total service exceeds 35 years, any payment made previously for outside teaching service including interest which cannot be used shall be transferred to the additional contributions of that participant.
(3) The participant applies in writing for the outside teaching credit giving pertinent details on when, where and for whom the outside teaching service was performed.
(4) The outside teaching service is verified by the school district, successor school district or public retirement plan.
(5) The applicable public retirement plan certifies to the department that the participant is not entitled to any benefit, absolute, contingent or otherwise, from that retirement plan as a result of the teaching service.
(6) The participant makes the contributions which would have been required if the service to be credited had been subject to s., 1979 Stats., at the time the teacher became a member, as defined in s., 1979 Stats., of the former Milwaukee teachers retirement fund, or if later, at the time the teacher returned to covered Milwaukee teaching after the period of outside teaching. The amount due shall be increased with interest at the effective rate, as defined in s. 40.02(23), Stats., as though the contributions were in the fund on September 1, 1959.
