(7) A member may receive credit towards eligibility
for benefits provided under § 86 of this subtitle for
out-of-state public school teaching service, nonpublic
school teaching service or postsecondary teaching service up
to a maximum of ten years if the member files a claim for it
with the board of trustees and pays into the retirement
system an amount equal to the reserves required to fund the
additional allowance for whatever years of out-of-state
and/or nonpublic school teaching service or postsecondary
teaching service as he may claim. The member may pay for
the reserves on an installment basis by contributing not

purchased prior to the date of retirement, but the member
may elect at the time of retirement to make an additional
lump-sum payment for the amount necessary to receive full
credit. In the event a member dies in active service while
paying for credit, and if the credit qualifies for benefits

pay for the appropriate final adjustment for such
out-of-state or public school teaching or postsecondary
teaching service as he may have claimed.
