Act Governing Retirement, Severance, and Bereavement Compensation for the Teaching and Other Staff Members of Public Schools Article 10

When a staff member claims pension, severance, or bereavement compensation, if there are any years of service for which the staff member paid Pension Fund premium in accordance with this Act but which are not aggregated into the creditable years for which he or she is paid pension, severance pay, or bereavement compensation, the Pension Fund management institution, after calculating the ratio of the uncredited years of service to the years of service for which premium was paid, shall return to the staff member in one lump sum the principal, with interest, of the Pension Fund premium originally contributed by the staff member himself or herself corresponding to the uncredited service period.A staff member who resigns without meeting the conditions for pension or severance may apply for return in one lump sum of the principal, with interest, of the Pension Fund premium originally contributed by the staff member himself or herself.If, after a staff member dies, there exists any circumstance precluding the payment of bereavement compensation as set out in the proviso to paragraph 2 of Article 52, his or her survivors under Article 62 may apply for return in one lump sum of the principal, with interest, of the Pension Fund pemium originally contributed by the staff member himself or herself.The provisions of the preceding two paragraphs regarding return of the principal, with interest, of the Pension Fund premium shall not apply to years of service for which a staff member contributed Pension Fund premium under this Act if the staff member has or had already received received pension or other separation pay for those years.
