(2)      WITHDRAWS THE MEMBER'S ACCUMULATED CONTRIBUTIONS;

(3)      BECOMES A RETIREE; OR

(4)      DIES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 73B, § 6-203.

In item (1) of this section, the word "separated" is substituted for the former
reference to being "absent" from employment for consistency with Division I
of this article. No substantive change is intended by the change in terminology.
However, the State Personnel and Pensions Article Review Committee notes,
for consideration by the General Assembly, that this item may be ambiguous
with respect to unpaid leaves of absence.

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Accumulated contributions" § 20-101
"Member" § 20-101
"Retiree" § 20-101

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added for clarity and to conform
to similar provisions elsewhere in this Division II.

Throughout this subtitle, references to "eligibility service" are substituted for
references to "creditable service" in provisions that relate to service credit to
be recognized to determine eligibility for a benefit. See General Revisor's
Note to this Division II.
