The Department of Human Resources shall certify to the Retirement System that a member is eligible to purchase service credit pursuant to eligibility criteria set forth in Charter Section A8.365-2. Provided, however, that the Department of Human Resources shall only certify a member as eligible to purchase service credit with the Retirement System if he or she took Unpaid Parental Leave prior to July 1, 2003, and if he or she returned to work for the City for at least six months immediately after the expiration of his or her Unpaid Parental Leave. The Retirement System shall rely on the certification from the Department of Human Resources to determine eligibility to purchase service credit for Unpaid Parental Leave.
