8-35-409. Transfer of contributions to optional program.

Any employee participating in an optional retirement program whose benefits are limited to those of that program pursuant to the provisions of § 8-35-406, may authorize the transfer of such employee's accumulated contributions deposited with the Tennessee consolidated retirement system to such optional retirement program upon request made to the retirement system. Such transfer shall be made within ninety (90) days of the retirement system's receipt of the request, and shall be considered to be a withdrawal of accumulated contributions and shall terminate membership in the Tennessee consolidated retirement system, in accordance with the provisions of § 8-35-104. Any such transfer constitutes a waiver of all rights in the retirement system and may not be redeposited with the Tennessee consolidated retirement system pursuant to § 8-37-214.
