Reinstating Service

Reinstating service can increase your benefit amount or help you retire earlier.

If you have previous PSRS service you forfeited by taking a refund of your contributions and interest, you can buy back, or reinstate, all or any portion of the service.

• You should receive information regarding service you are eligible to reinstate when you establish your PSRS membership. If you do not, please contact us.
• Typically, a reinstatement is less expensive than other service purchases.
• Cost is the amount refunded plus interest that accrues the first of each month.
• Payment is due prior to your PSRS retirement date. If you pay a portion of the reinstatement cost, you receive proportional service based on the payments you make.
