How does the department calculate my retirement allowance if I reenter PSERS membership and then reretire?

If you return to work in an eligible PSERS position, you have the option of reentering membership. If you reenter membership, your retirement allowance will be calculated according to this section when you reretire.
(1) If you previously retired before age sixty, the department will:
(a) Calculate your retirement allowance pursuant to RCW 41.37.190 using:
(i) Your total years of career service, including service earned prior to your initial retirement and service earned after reentering membership; and
(ii) Any increase in your AFC resulting from your reentry into membership; and
(b) Actuarially reduce your retirement allowance:
(i) Based on the present value of the retirement allowance payments you received during your initial retirement;
(ii) To account for any lump sum payment you took at the time of your previous retirement, plus interest, unless you choose to repay the entire amount before you reretire;
(iii) To reflect the difference in the number of years between your current age and the attainment of age sixty, if you are not yet age sixty; and
(iv) To offset the cost of your benefit option if it includes a survivor feature. See WAC 415-106-600.
(2) If you previously retired at or after age sixty, the department will:
(a) Calculate your retirement allowance pursuant to RCW 41.37.190 using:
(i) Your total years of career service, including service earned prior to your initial retirement and service earned after reentering membership; and
(ii) Any increase in your AFC resulting from your reentry into membership; and
(b) Actuarially reduce your retirement allowance:
(i) To account for any lump sum payment you took at the time of your previous retirement, plus interest, unless you choose to repay the entire amount before you reretire; and
(ii) To offset the cost of your benefit option if it includes a survivor feature. See WAC 415-106-600.
(3) Under no circumstances will you receive a retirement allowance creditable to a month during which you earned service credit.
