(A) The provisions in this chapter are applicable only in those instances where the amount of military salary shown as base salary on the members’ military Leave and Earnings Statement is less than the amount earned by the member as regular salary as an employee of the city in the position last held with the city prior to mobilization. In those instances where the members’ military base salary is greater than the members’ regular salary as an employee of the city, this chapter shall have no application or effect, provided that, the city shall continue to pay the members’ health and life insurance premiums during the period of the members’ active duty.
(B) Upon meeting the eligibility requirements of this chapter, including satisfaction of the annual eligibility requirements set out in § 37.04, the member shall be entitled to a supplementary benefit equal to the monetary difference between the amount shown as base salary on the members’ Leave and Earnings Statement and the aggregate amount shown as regular salary for the member in the records of the City Controller for the same period of time. This difference shall be designated as the "gross supplementary benefit." The Office of the Controller shall deduct from the gross supplementary benefit all customary taxes, public employee’s retirement fund contributions, and other usual deductions from the members’ municipal salary as designated by the member or the individual authorized on the members’ military Power of Attorney to act on the members’ behalf. The remaining amount shall be designated as the "net supplementary benefit." The Office of the City Controller shall disburse to the member, or his or her designated recipient, on a weekly basis, an amount equal to the members’ net supplementary benefit as calculated herein.
