• Requires members to repay any underpaid contributions through payroll deductions (for active members) or personal check/money order (for inactive, retired, or long-term disability members) within 90 days of ASRS notification, with accrued interest if unpaid.

• Requires employers to repay underpaid contributions plus accumulated interest within 90 days of ASRS notification, with additional interest accruing on any unpaid balance.
