| ||||||
12 | If, when a policeman's annuity is fixed, there is to his | ||||||
13 | credit, for such
annuity, an amount in excess of that necessary | ||||||
14 | to provide an annuity of 75%
of his highest salary (80% of | ||||||
15 | average salary in the case of a policeman whose
annuity is | ||||||
16 | calculated under subdivision (1)(f) of Section 5-132) , 7/24 of
| ||||||
17 | such excess shall be refunded if the policeman is a future | ||||||
18 | entrant; and if he
is a present employee, there shall be | ||||||
19 | refunded , a part of such excess
amount proportionately equal to | ||||||
20 | that part of the entire amount to his credit
for such annuity | ||||||
21 | purposes, which the sum that has resulted from salary
| ||||||
22 | deductions bears to such entire amount.

24 | there is to the
policeman's credit, for widow's annuity, an | ||||||

to provide an annuity of | ||||||
26 | $500 per month, 1/3 of such excess shall be refunded
to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | policeman if he is a future entrant; and, if he is a present | ||||||
2 | employee,
there shall be refunded a part of such excess amount | ||||||
3 | proportionately equal to
that part of the entire amount to his | ||||||
4 | credit for such annuity purposes which
the sum that has | ||||||
5 | resulted from employee contributions bears to such entire
| ||||||
6 | amount. If the widow's annuity is fixed on or after January 1, | ||||||
7 | 1986, no refund
of excess contributions shall be made under | ||||||
8 | this paragraph.

9 | Until January 1, 1986, if at the time of the death of a | ||||||
10 | policeman
resulting from injury
incurred in the performance of | ||||||

for widow's annuity, an | ||||||
12 | amount in excess of that necessary to provide an
annuity of 75% | ||||||
13 | of his highest salary, or $500 per month if death results
from | ||||||
14 | any other cause, 1/3 of such excess shall be refunded to his | ||||||
15 | widow
if he was a future entrant; and, if he was a present | ||||||
16 | employee, there
shall be refunded to his widow a part of such | ||||||
17 | excess amount
proportionately equal to that part of the entire | ||||||
18 | amount to his credit
for such annuity purposes which the sum | ||||||
19 | that has resulted from employee's
contributions bears to such | ||||||
20 | entire amount. If employee dies in service
on or after January | ||||||
21 | 1, 1986, no refund of excess contributions shall be
made under | ||||||
22 | this paragraph.
| ||||||
23 | This amendatory Act of 1972 does not increase the amount of | ||||||
24 | any
widow's annuity which is fixed before the effective date of | ||||||
25 | this
amendatory Act of 1972.
