What constitutes actual required creditable service for death benefits.

- Although Ga. L. 1967, p. 751, § 4 (see O.C.G.A. § 47-2-130) speaks in terms of 15 years of creditable service, the actual required creditable service for death benefits is 13 years and four months under the provisions of Ga. L. 1953, Nov.-Dec. Sess., p. 160, § 2 (see O.C.G.A. § 47-2-124). 1976 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U76-9.

Application of "95% rule" to O.C.G.A. § 47-2-122. - Question of how to apply the "95% rule" in O.C.G.A. § 47-2-124 to the vesting provisions of O.C.G.A. § 47-2-122 should be resolved by the Board of Trustees of the Employees Retirement System in light of the possible conflict with existing policies. 1992 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 92-24.

The 95% rule not applicable to § 47-2-111. - The 95% rule of O.C.G.A. § 47-2-124 does not apply to the calculation of retirement benefits under O.C.G.A. § 47-2-111, since by the statute's plain language, § 47-2-124 only applies to the calculation of benefits pursuant to O.C.G.A. §§ 47-2-122 and47-2-123. 1993 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 93-12 (issued prior to the 1994 amendment to this Code section).
