Contributions made for purposes of purchasing service, and interest earnings thereon, are not considered for purposes of determining death benefits under Section 59-1361(3), Idaho Code, and distributions under Section 59-1309(5), Idaho Code. When determining death benefits under Section 59-1361(3), Idaho Code, first calculate two hundred percent (200%) of accumulated contributions, excluding contributions and interest related to purchased service, then add member contributions and interest related to purchased service. Member contributions and interest will also be included in any separation benefit. In no event shall employer contributions for purchased service be included in any separation benefit or lump-sum death benefit.
