(b) Other class membership.--A school employee who is a member of a class of service other than Class T-C on the effective date of this part may elect to become a member of Class T-C or Class T-D or may retain his membership in such other class until the service is discontinued or he elects to become a full coverage member or elects to purchase credit for previous school or creditable nonschool service. Any service thereafter shall be credited as Class T-C or T-D service as applicable.

Any prior school service credited as Class T-C service shall be credited as Class T-D service, subject to the limitations contained in paragraph (4).
(2) A school employee who, on the day before and on the effective date of this subsection, is either an active member or an inactive member shall be classified as a Class T-D member and receive credit for Class T-D service performed on or after the effective date of this subsection upon payment of regular member contributions, provided the school employee elects to become a Class T-D member pursuant to section 8305.1 (relating to election to become a Class T-D member). A school employee who becomes a Class T-D member shall also receive Class T-D service credit for all Class T-C school service performed before the effective date of this subsection, subject to the limitations contained in paragraph (4).
(3) A former school employee who, on the effective date of this subsection, is a multiple service member who is a State employee and a member of the State Employees' Retirement System shall receive Class T-D service credit for all Class T-C school service performed before the effective date of this subsection, subject to the limitations contained in paragraph (4), provided the former school employee elects to become a Class T-D member pursuant to section 8305.1.
(ii) A person who is not a school employee or a State employee on June 30, 2001, and July 1, 2001, and who has previous school service shall not receive Class T-D service credit for school service performed before July 1, 2001, until the person becomes an active member or an active member of the State Employees' Retirement System and a multiple service member and earns three eligibility points by performing credited school service or State service after June 30, 2001.
