21039
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a safety
member, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 20371, who has
elected to receive credit for service by making contributions in
installment payments and who retires or has retired due to industrial
disability while making those payments, may elect to cancel the
payments prospectively if the election to receive credit for service
does not increase the member's allowance payable. The effective date
of the member's election to cancel payments shall be the first day of
the month following receipt of the election by the system. No refund
of contributions paid in installments prior to the effective date of
the member's election to cancel the payments shall be payable to a
member or retired member as a result of an election made by a member
pursuant to this section.
(b) A member's election pursuant to this section shall be void,
and the installment payments shall resume, upon a member's
reinstatement from retirement for industrial disability. The
remaining balance due shall be recalculated to include interest
during the industrial disability retirement period.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit any right
or benefit granted pursuant to Section 20776 or 21037, as amended by
Senate Bill 268 of the 2003-04 Regular Session.
