article or article 30.5 of this title 31, including any department chief, who at the time of the
chief's death had been exempted from the statewide retirement plan as permitted by section 31-
31.5-203, shall be reduced by an amount that is the actuarial equivalent of the benefits such
surviving spouse and dependent children receive from the money purchase plan, whether the
benefits received from the money purchase plan are paid on a periodic basis or in a lump sum.
