§ 20991 Military Leave Contribution Credit

• •If you were away for military service and your boss didn't pay your retirement money while you were gone, you can pay it yourself when you come back to your job.
• •If you pay the money you missed, it will count like you were working the whole time, even when you were in the military.
• •You have to pay the money in the way the board says you should.

John was in the Army for 2 years. His boss didn't pay his retirement money while he was gone. When John comes back to his job, he can pay the money he missed.

If John pays the missed retirement money, it will count like he was working those 2 years. This helps him get more retirement money later.
