Membership in the fund is available to those serving as a duly qualified and commissioned sheriff of a county of the State of Georgia, serving as a sheriff of the Superior Court of that county at the time he files his application. Membership is voluntary and an application must be filed within 12 months of first assuming the office of Sheriff, or within the first 30 days of a newly elected term. When applying for membership, a certification of service as Sheriff must be completed and returned along with the application and first month’s dues of $45.00. To continue membership, monthly dues of $45.00 must be paid and the member must continue serving in the capacity of sheriff. If membership is suspended for non-payment of dues, the member remains in the fund in suspended status, no credit for service as a basis for retirement benefits will be granted until reinstated. Membership or participation in any other retirement systems shall not affect membership in this fund.
