Payment shall be made or shall commence within 120 days after the date of the election. No installment, except the final installment, shall be less than twenty-five dollars ($25). The member may not be credited with any service pursuant to this section until the contributions have been paid in full.

(d) If the member is not employed to perform creditable service at the time of the election, the contributions shall be based upon the compensation earnable in the last school year of credited service or either of the two immediately preceding school years, whichever is highest. (e) The total amount of contributions due from the member under subdivision (b) shall be reduced by the amount received from the Public Employees’ Retirement System pursuant to Section 20309.5 of the Government Code.
