Ala. Code § 45-37A-51.163: Purchase of Credit for Certain Prior Unclassified Service.

Payment for such time under 10 years earned prior to January 1, 1989, has been made in full. If such service totals were more than 10 years, selection of option (2) provided the participant with credit for one-half of each year completed in the unclassified service of the city prior to becoming a participant or employee member and required the payment only of any refund of contributions from any unclassified service pension directly to this system. The option herein provided shall have been exercised not later than May 15, 1989. In the event an individual did not exercise this option in writing, that individual was continued in any unclassified service pension plan under option (1).
