SamCERA members have two separate periods of time during 2018 to make service purchases. The process starts when the member submits a Purchase Request form. Members may submit Purchase Request forms at any time.

First Period

• SamCERA begins processing Purchase Request forms: February 1, 2018
• Purchase Request due date: May 15, 2018
• Deadline for all money returned to SamCERA with agreement: June 7, 2018

Second Period

• SamCERA begins processing Purchase Request forms: August 1, 2018
• Purchase Request due date: November 15, 2018
• Deadline for all money returned to SamCERA with agreement: December 6, 2018

If you are unable to complete the process during one of these purchase periods, it will be recalculated and processed during the following period.

Purchase Request forms may be submitted for the purchase of Extra Help time, Plan 3 service upgrades, and unpaid sick leave. Returning SamCERA members can also make a Purchase Request for a redeposit of withdrawn funds.

You can find a copy of the SamCERA Purchase Request form on the SamCERA forms page.
