A. The Executive Director may accept a member's request for a waiver if the member demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, that:

(1) The member's failure to make a claim to transfer service credit within 1 year was attributable solely to physical or mental incapacity during the filing period; or

(2) The member's failure to make a claim to transfer service credit within 1 year was attributable solely to misinformation or mishandling by the member's employer, and the member provides the certification required in Regulation .04C of this chapter.
