N.D. Admin. Code 71-08-06-02
A veteran with eligible time may receive up to sixty months' credit upon proper application. A veteran eligible to receive service credit for military time must apply for and, if required to pay any portion of the employee contribution, purchase that time within the lesser of three times the length of active duty or five years from the date of that person's return to covered employment after an honorable discharge. Service credit will not be awarded until all required documentation is received by the North Dakota public employees retirement system. If payment of required employer and employee contributions is made, the service will be recognized for both benefit eligibility and benefit calculation purposes. If payment of required employer and employee contribution is not made, then the veteran's application for service will be recognized and credit will be used for benefit eligibility purposes only.
