What qualifies as service credit under the ERA plan?
Service credit under the Educational Retirement Act may be either EARNED or ALLOWED. EARNED service is credit for employment with an administrative unit in New Mexico. Members who leave covered employment immediately prior to entering into active service in the United States military are granted up to 5 years of earned service credit for time spent in active duty if they return to employment with an ERB employer within 18 months of discharge. There is no cost for this earned service credit.
