Retirement Procedures for Activated State Employees

An MS-310 transaction will be required for employees on Military Administrative Leave (difference-in-pay program) to discontinue the employee’s retirement system contribution. Employees on activated military duty will not continue to make retirement contributions.

Use the following information to process the MS-310:

  • In the Comments Section, agencies should use the following: Change to Retirement System
  • In Section 31-Ret.Sys., agencies should use the following code: 00

NOTE: When the employee returns from active military duty, the agency will have to re-submit the MS-310 changing the Retirement System code back to the appropriate system code. This transaction will start the employee’s contributions once again.
