§ 24751 Retirement Contribution Redeposit Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If you took money out of certain old retirement plans before July 1, 1972, and didn’t put it back, you have to pay it back later.
  • •You must pay back the full amount you took out, plus interest, before you can retire.
  • •You can pay it all at once or in small parts over time, depending on what the retirement system allows.

Example

Imagine you worked for a school in Los Angeles in the 1960s and took out your retirement money when you left. Later, you decided to retire and get your pension.

The law says you have to pay back all the money you took out, plus interest, before you can start getting your pension. If you don’t, you won’t get your full retirement pay.
