P.R. Laws tit. 3, § 806b
(a) Every employee in the public service who may have rendered previous services to the Government of Puerto Rico, its instrumentalities, dependencies, agencies or any other government organization without having been credited in any of the retirement systems in force in Puerto Rico for employees in the public service, because he was not able to contribute to said systems due to the handicap of his classification as employee, may receive credit for said services upon payment to the proper retirement system.
(b) Said services may have been rendered to the Government of Puerto Rico, its agencies, instrumentalities or any other government organization in regular, transitory, emergency, irregular, substitute or in any other classification.
(c) To obtain credit for the aforementioned services, the participant of a retirement system who so claims, shall make the proper payment, determined on the basis of the salaries earned during the uncovered period and the rate of the individual and employer contribution in force on the date in which these services were rendered, plus the amounts owing as interest on the accumulated amount of said contributions, at the interest rate to be determined by the Board, as of the date on which the services were rendered until the time at which they were compensated. Said interest should not exceed the rate established in actuarial tables.
(d) For the computation of the total of creditable services, there shall govern the schedule stipulated in the corresponding retirement system.
(e) The payment of these uncovered services may be made in one whole payment or by deductions or monthly partial payment, in installments to be set by the Board in regulations, while the employee is in active service.
(f) The credit for years of services shall be granted when the debt is paid in whole. If the participant is separated from service without having paid the whole of the debt he may choose to withdraw the contributions made for this reason.
