If a member who makes contributions to the Pension Fund ceases to be a member of the Department of Police before he or she becomes entitled to receive a pension benefit, the total amount of his or her contributions paid to the Pension Fund shall be refunded in full, without interest.
If a member terminates his or her employment and is later re-employed by the employer as a member of the Department, he or she shall receive credit for the years of continuous service earned prior to his or her date of termination only if he or she repays the amount he or she received at the time he or she terminated employment with the employer.
If a member dies prior to his or her eligibility to receive a pension benefit from the Pension Fund, the member's surviving spouse or family shall receive any death benefits payable to survivors as provided in Section 289.05. If such member is not survived by a spouse or family, however, then the total contribution paid into the Pension Fund by the member shall be paid to his or her estate.
