by a specified date in order for a member to be eligible for service
credit or a benefit from the system the document shall be deemed filed
or the moneys deposited with the system on the date mailed if mailed to

service as the retirement board may specifically permit by rule or
regulation with a tracking service confirming a date of mailing.
Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, no such document shall be deemed
filed or moneys deposited with the system on the mailing date unless
actually received by the retirement system as the result of such
mailing.
