Kansas Statutes Chapter 74. State Boards, Commissions and Authorities § 74-49,312. Vesting; nonforfeitability; restoration of service and credits of certain members who return to active service

(a) A member is vested, but subject to forfeiture, in the member's retirement annuity account upon completion of five years of service. A member's benefit is nonforfeitable upon the attainment of normal retirement age and the completion of at least five years of service, whichever is later.

(b) If a member who is not vested in the member's retirement annuity account at termination of employment, has not withdrawn such member's annuity savings account and returns to active employment and membership in the plan within five years of such member's termination, such member's prior years of service, employer credits and interest credits shall be restored upon such return to employment and membership.
