N.H. Admin. Code § Ret 307.02 - Eligibility to Receive Service Credit
(a) To be eligible to
receive service credit a member shall meet the standards for active membership
in the NHRS set forth in RSA 100-A and the participation standards in
Ret
302.05.
(b) An active member's service credit shall
be accrued on a per month basis.
(c) The requirements for an active member to
receive service credit for a particular month shall be as set forth in (d)
through (j) below.
(d) The member's
employer shall both report to the NHRS the full amount of the member's earnable
compensation and remit to the NHRS the full amount of all employer and member
contributions due on the member's earnable compensation in accordance with
RSA
100-A:16 and
Ret
307.06.
(e) Upon becoming eligible to enroll in the
NHRS, a member shall receive service credit for the first month of service in
which the member has earnable compensation attributable to the member's service
during that month.
(f) To receive
service credit for the member's second month of service, the member shall, for
that month, have earnable compensation attributable to the member's service
during that month that is equal to at least 1/24 of the member's base annual
compensation reported by the member's employer on the member's "Member
Information/Enrollment Form" (NHRS Form D NHRS 1 Rev. 12/2015).
(g) To receive service credit for subsequent
months of service, with the exception of the month in which the member's
employment is terminated, the member shall, for the month for which service
credit is sought, have attributable earnable compensation that is at least
equal to 50% of the member's average monthly earnable compensation over the
member's previous 6 months of credited service. If, however, the member has
less than 6 months total credited service, a member shall receive service
credit only if the member's earnable compensation attributable to the month for
which service is sought is at least 50% of the member's average monthly
earnable compensation from the member's second month of credited service
onward.
(h) Notwithstanding the
requirements of (f) and (g) above, a member shall receive service credit for
any month of service in which the member receives earnable compensation for at
least 50% of the regularly required work days for that position.
(i) To receive credit for service in the
month in which the member's employment is terminated, the member shall have
received earnable compensation for at least 50% of the regularly required work
days for that position, regardless of the amount of the member's earnable
compensation attributable to that month.
(j) In accordance with
RSA
100-A:16, I(a), a group II
member shall not receive creditable service in excess of 40 years.
