If the amount to be transferred includes any amounts paid to purchase service credit, other than amounts paid to restore service credit under section 3309.26 of the Revised Code, interest on the amounts paid to purchase service credit shall be calculated beginning on the first day of the fiscal year following the year in which the payment to purchase the credit was made and ending on the last day of the month in which the transfer occurs. For each year of service credit to be transferred, the interest rate shall be determined by using the lesser of the actuarial assumption rate in effect at the beginning of the fiscal year for each of the state retirement systems involved in the transfer.(D) If a member of the public employees retirement system has contributions to more than one employer division of the system, the employer contribution rate for the system shall be determined using the last division to which the member contributed. If the period of service and contributions to be transferred includes service that occurred prior to the date the member's most recent division was established, the school employees retirement system shall use the employer contribution rate for its system for that year.Ohio Admin.
