Coverage on LWOP may be retained by members with 1 year of membership service. The coverage may be kept for a maximum of 4 years if a written request is made to ERS to continue this coverage. Coverage terminates if a written request is not filed with ERS. Anyone accepting employment outside of State government during a period of LWOP (excluding active military duty) is not eligible to retain this coverage. Premiums in the amount of 1% of the final monthly salary accumulate each month while on LWOP and are due at the time of refund or retirement.
