If a retired member,\nreceiving a retirement allowance for other than physical disability,\nreturns to active public service, except as otherwise provided in this\nsection or section two hundred eleven or two hundred twelve of this\nchapter, and is eligible for membership in the retirement system, he\nthereupon shall become a member and his retirement allowance shall\ncease. In such event, he shall contribute to the retirement system as if\nhe were a new member. Upon his subsequent retirement he shall:\n 1. Be credited with all member service earned by him since he last\nbecame a member of the retirement system, and\n 2. Receive a retirement allowance which shall consist of:\n (a) An annuity which is the actuarial equivalent of all his\naccumulated contributions, and\n (b) The pension including the\npension-providing-for-increased-take-home-pay which he was receiving\nimmediately prior to his last restoration to membership, plus a pension\nincluding the pension-providing-for-increased-take-home-pay based upon\nthe member service credit earned by him since he last became a member.\nSuch latter pensions shall be computed as if he were a new member when\nhe last became a member.\n Where such member shall have earned at least two years of member\nservice credit after restoration to active service, the total service\ncredit to which he was entitled at the time of his earlier retirement\nmay, at his option, again be credited to him and upon his subsequent\nretirement he shall be credited in addition with all member service\nearned by him subsequent to his last restoration to membership.
