County employees transferred to State employment pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. § 1905 who are annuitants of the State Employees' Retirement System shall be required to be active members of the State Employees' Retirement System and shall have their annuities stopped pursuant to 71 Pa.C.S. §§ 5301(d) and 5706, governing annuitants of the State Employees' Retirement System who return to State service. Upon subsequent termination and application for annuity, the transferred State Employees' Retirement System annuitants shall have their benefits calculated according to the provisions of 71 Pa.C.S. Pt. XXV, regarding annuities after subsequent termination. For purposes of calculating eligibility points for the application of 71 Pa.C.S. § 5706(c)(1), only eligibility points earned after the date of transfer may be included unless the member has converted county service to State service pursuant to 71 Pa.C.S. § 5303.1. If a former annuitant has converted county service to State service, the eligibility points subsequent to the most recent receipt of an annuity that is not returned to the State Employees' Retirement System as a result of the converted service shall also be included in calculating the eligibility points under 71 Pa.C.S. § 5706(c)(1).
