742-4-11. Termination of a member's active service in an police or fire department
-
(A) For purposes of section 742.444 of the Revised Code, "termination of a member's active service in a police or fire department" is presumed to occur if OP& F does not receive consecutive reports or payments of contributions from an employer on behalf of the DROP participant, regardless of which employer reports or pays such contributions to OP& F, as more fully illustrated in the following examples. For example, if the DROP participant works for city A through January 25, 2003 and then begins employment with city B, who is a employer within the meaning assigned to it in division (D) of section 742.01 of the Revised Code, on February 1, 2003, then no termination would exist. On the other hand, if the DROP participant terminated employment with city A on January 25, 2003 and did not resume employment in an OP& F covered position until March 1, 2003, a termination would result under section 742.444 of the Revised Code. This presumption may be rebutted by the member or employer by timely submitting documentation to OP& F that shows the continuation of the employment relationship within the time period requested by OP& F.
(B) "Employer" shall have the meaning assigned to it in division (D) of section 742.01 of the Revised Code.
(C) Capitalized terms used in this rule shall have the meaning assigned to them in rule 742-4-01 of the Administrative Code .
