Arizona Revised Statutes Title 38. Public Officers and Employees § 38-853. Transfer of credited service

A member who terminates employment with an employer and accepts a position with the same or another employer participating in the system, after completing an application that is acceptable to the board, shall have the member's credited service transferred to the member's record with the new employer provided the member leaves the member's accumulated contributions on deposit with the fund. The termination of employment shall not constitute a break in service. However, the period not employed shall not be considered as service.
