a. The member had withdrawn the member's accumulated contributions, as defined in section 411.21, for the previous period of service.

b. The member returned to service after an absence of service of a period of less than four years from the last day of the prior period of service.

c. The member returned to service after an absence of service of a period of four or more years from the last day of the prior period of service and the member had sufficient service as of the last day of the prior period of service to have been entitled to a retirement allowance on that date under section 411.6, subsection 1, paragraph “b”.
