(a) The nonmember who is awarded a separate account may redeposit accumulated contributions and interest previously refunded to the member in accordance with the determination of the court required by Section 31685. (b) The nonmember may redeposit only those accumulated contributions and interest that were previously refunded to the member and that the court has determined to be the community property interest of the nonmember in the accumulated contributions. (c) If the nonmember elects to redeposit, he or she shall repay the accumulated contributions and interest. (d) An election to redeposit shall be considered an election to repay all accumulated contributions and interest previously refunded that the nonmember is entitled to redeposit. (e) The right of the nonmember to redeposit is subject to the regulations of the board. (f) The member has no right to the court-determined nonmember share of any previously refunded accumulated contributions and interest whether or not the nonmember elects to redeposit until the effective date of any refund requested by the nonmember pursuant to Section 31685.2, or the nonmember dies before redeposit is completed. However, any right to redeposit previously refunded accumulated contributions and interest not explicitly awarded to the nonmember by the judgment or court order shall be deemed the exclusive property of the member. (g) Any redeposit by the nonmember shall be made by lump sum before retirement.
