The beginning of a member's period of active membership in the system is established by the date of the employer contribution report to the system that includes the member's initial employee and employer contributions. A member's active membership is terminated when the system receives notice of termination from an employer, accompanied by the member's final employee and employer contributions. If the system receives any employee and matching employer contributions on behalf of a member during a calendar quarter, the member shall be credited with a full calendar quarter of contributory service toward calculating the member's benefits or determining the member's eligibility for benefits, but not for determining whether a member's death was active status or inactive status.
