N.D. Admin. Code 71-08-02-01
If a member of the defined contribution retirement plan begins employment in a position covered under the judges' retirement plan, the highway patrol retirement plan, the teachers' fund for retirement plan, or the alternate retirement plan of the state board of higher education, the member's status as a member of the defined contribution retirement plan is suspended and the member becomes a new member of the retirement plan for which that member's new position is eligible. The member's account balance remains in the defined contribution retirement plan, but no new contributions may be made to that account. The member's service credit and salary history that were forfeited as a result of the member's transfer to the defined contribution retirement plan remain forfeited, and service credit accumulation in the new retirement plan begins from the first day of employment in the new position. If the member later returns to employment that is eligible for the defined contribution plan, the member's suspension is terminated, the member again becomes a member of the defined contribution plan, and the member's account shall resume accepting contributions. The contributions to the alternate retirement plan shall remain with that plan unless at the member's option, the member elects to transfer any available balance as determined by the provisions of the alternate retirement plan into the member's account in the defined contribution retirement plan.
