As per your request, we are pleased to enclose Model Ordinance TMRS-PSC/Restricted, which provides for
restricted prior service credit to employees who are members of the System for service previously performed
for various other public entities for which they have not received credited service. This credit may only be
used to satisfy length of service requirements for "vesting" and service retirement eligibility, has no monetary
value, and is not used in any other computations including Updated Service Credits.
This option allows a member city to grant restricted prior service credit to employees for service performed for:
• A public authority or agency created by the United States.
• Any state or territory of the United States.
• Any political subdivision of any state or territory of the United States.
• Any public agency or authority created by a state or territory of the United States.
• Previously forfeited service under one of the five statewide retirement systems in Texas (Texas
Municipal Retirement System, Texas County & District Retirement System, Teacher Retirement
System of Texas, Employees Retirement System of Texas, and Judicial Retirement System of
Texas).
In that this credit has no monetary value, a city's contribution rate will not be changed because of adoption of
this provision.
