Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) A person who has been retired under this chapter for service following an involuntary termination of their employment, and who is subsequently reinstated to that employment pursuant to an administrative or judicial proceeding that is final and not subject to appeal, shall be reinstated from retirement as if there were no intervening period of retirement.  Except as provided in subdivision (b), the requirements of Sections 31680.4, 31680.5, and 31680.7 shall not apply to that reinstatement.

(b) The allowance received by the person during retirement shall be repaid by the person to the retirement system from which they retired in accordance with the retirement system's repayment policy.

(1) Member contributions shall be made for any period for which salary is awarded in the administrative or judicial proceedings in the amount that would have been contributed had the member's employment not been terminated, and the person shall receive credit for the period for which salary is awarded.  If the person fails to repay the allowance received during retirement, then the person's contributions and allowance upon retirement subsequent to reinstatement shall be calculated under Sections 31680.5 or 31680.7, as applicable.

(2) The retirement system shall have discretion regarding the timing of repayment of employer contributions for the period described in paragraph (1).

(c) As used in this section, “administrative proceeding” means the process for appeal of an involuntary termination established by county or district ordinance or charter.

(d) This section shall only apply to persons reinstated to employment by final action as described in subdivision (a), on or after the effective date of this section, pursuant to an administrative or judicial proceeding.
