            (B) A rate, determined by the actuary for the fund, that is

            (C) The number of months of service credit the individual intends to purchase.
        (2) Contributions for any accrued interest, at a rate determined by the actuary for the fund, for the period from the individual's initial membership in the fund to the date payment is made by the individual.

        (2) The board may deny an election for the purchase of service credit if the purchase would exceed the limitations under Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code.
        (3) An individual may not claim the service credit for the purpose of computing benefits unless the individual has made all payments required for the purchase of the service credit.
        (4) To the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations, an individual may purchase service credit under this section by a rollover distribution to the fund from any of the following:
            (A) A qualified plan described in Section 401(a) or Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
