REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 73B, § 5-301(g).

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to the "benefits provided under
Subtitle 4 of this title" is deleted as surplusage.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to eligibility service "for
which the member is not otherwise entitled to service credit" is added to
clarify that a member is not entitled to duplicate service credit for the same
period of employment.

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to "complet[ing]" a claim
and the reference to "the form that the Board of Trustees provides" are added
to state expressly that which formerly only was implied - i.e., to file a claim a
member must complete a form provided by the Board of Trustees.
