296.15 DUTY DISABILITY ANNUITY.
   (a)   A member who retires on or after attainment of his or her voluntary retirement age, on account of disability as provided in Section 296.14, shall receive an annuity according to Section 296.13.
   (b)   A member who retires before attainment of his or her voluntary retirement age, on account of disability as provided in Section 296.14, shall receive a disability annuity of fifty-five percent of his or her average final compensation. Such disability annuity shall begin as of the date of his or her disability, but in no case more than six months before the date his or her application for disability retirement is filed with the Retirement Board or before the date his or her name last appeared on a City payroll with pay, whichever is later. Such disability annuity shall continue to his or her attainment of voluntary retirement age or recovery prior thereto. Such disability annuity shall be subject to Sections 296.20 and 296.21 and shall not exceed sixty-five percent of the average final compensation.
   (c)   Upon attaining voluntary retirement age, such disability retirant shall receive annuity according to Section 296.13. In computing such annuity, to begin as of his or her attainment of voluntary retirement age, he or she shall be given service credit for the time he or she received a disability annuity provided for in subsection (b) hereof.
(1979 Code Sec. 2.80.170)
   (d)   During the time a disability retirant is receiving the disability annuity provided for in subsection (b) hereof, his or her contributions to the Annuity Savings Fund shall be suspended and his or her balance in such Fund shall remain therein and shall be accumulated at regular interest until his or her attainment of voluntary retirement age or death. Upon attaining voluntary retirement age, his or her accumulated contributions shall be transferred to the Annuity Reserve Fund. If the disability retirant dies before attaining voluntary retirement age, his or her accumulated contributions standing to his or her credit in the Annuity Savings Fund at the time of his or her death shall be paid according to Section 296.22, notwithstanding that he or she had been in receipt of a disability annuity.
