The provisions of KRS 61.680 are hereby recognized and shall be followed in calculating benefits of any member of the Teachers' Retirement System who also has an account with the Kentucky Employees Retirement System, County Employees Retirement System, or State Police Retirement System. The benefits shall be calculated using a membership date as follows:
- (1) Teachers' Retirement System shall use the other state-administered retirement systems' membership entry date to establish eligibility for and participation in benefits if it is the earlier membership entry date between the systems, and this date shall not be subsequently changed once entered in the member's record; and
- (2) For individuals who begin participation in the Teacher's Retirement System on or after July 1, 2026, service subsequently reinstated or established in another system for an earlier period or date shall not change the individual's continued participation in the Teachers' Retirement System account type in which they participated prior to the reinstatement.
