Eligibility Conditions and Instructions

Eligibility

A participant in the state of Michigan’s 401(k) Defined Contribution Retirement Plan is eligible to receive service credit for time spent on a military leave of absence in accordance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA).

Service credit for time you spent on military leave can be used to meet the vesting requirement for both employer contributions (a four-year vesting requirement) and retiree health insurance (a 10-year vesting requirement).

If you meet the criteria for a military leave of absence as described by the Department of Civil Service, the state will increase your service credit hours and contribute an amount equal to 4% of the state pay you would have received if you had not been called to duty.

Conditions

If eligible, you will receive service credit when you return to work and submit this form with your military discharge papers (DD Form 214).

After discharge, you must return to employment within the allowed decompression time as set forth by the Department of Civil Service.

You must have left state employment to serve in one of the uniformed services: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Reserves, National Guard, and the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service.

Cumulative absences from your job for military service cannot exceed five years unless the additional service falls under one of the exceptions in Civil Service Regulation 2.04, Military Leaves of Absence and Return to Work: Basic Rights.

You cannot receive credit for military service if you receive credit for the same service under another retirement system. However, this restriction doesn’t apply if you will be eligible to retire from the federal government for service in the Reserve component.

If your military leave of absence meets the criteria established under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA*), you will be

granted service credit for the time you served in the military (subject to statutory limits) and any creditable decompression time allowed under the following guidelines: Less than 31 days. Your military service and travel time from the place of service to your residence, plus 8 hours. 31 to 180 days. Your military service and up to 14 days of decompression time. 181 or more. Your military service and up to 90 days of decompression time. *USERRA is a federal law that provides reemployment rights for individuals who have served in the military.

Elective Contributions

You can make up the elective contributions you missed while on military leave. If you choose to make up your elective contributions to your 401(k) account, the state will match those contributions up to 3% or 5% if you are in the Personal Health Care Fund.

If you check the elective contributions box on the front of this form, the Office of Retirement Services will contact you to explain your payment options.

Payment of elective contributions must take place within a period equal to three times the length of your immediate past military service, but not longer than five years. For example, if you returned to work on May 1, 2021, after one year of military duty, you must make up any elective contributions within three years, which would be May 1, 2024.

For copies of your military papers, write to: National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records, 9700 Page Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63132- 5100. You can also request your discharge papers online by visiting www.archives.gov.
