     § 8306.  Eligibility points.
        (a)  General rule.--An active member of the system shall
     accrue one eligibility point for each year of credited service
     as a member of the school or State retirement system. A member
     shall accrue an additional two-thirds of an eligibility point
     for each year of Class D-3 credited service under the State
     Employees' Retirement System. In the case of a fractional part
     of a year of credited service, a member shall accrue the
     corresponding fractional portion of an eligibility point.
        (b)  Transitional rule.--For the purposes of the transition:
            (1)  In determining whether a member, other than a
        disability annuitant who returns to school service after June
        30, 2001, upon termination of the disability annuity, who is
        not a school employee or a State employee on June 30, 2001,
        and July 1, 2001, and who has previous school service, has
        the five eligibility points required by the definition of
        "vestee" in sections 8102 (relating to definitions), 8307
        (relating to eligibility for annuities), 8308 (relating to
        eligibility for vesting) and 8345 (relating to member's
        options), only eligibility points earned by performing
        credited school service or credited State service after June
        30, 2001, shall be counted until such member earns one
        eligibility point by performing credited school service or
        credited State service after June 30, 2001, at which time all
        eligibility points as determined under subsection (a) shall
        be counted.
            (2)  A member subject to paragraph (1) shall be
        considered to have satisfied any requirement for five
        eligibility points contained in this part if the member has
        at least ten eligibility points determined under subsection
        (a).
