(a) Forfeitures. Upon the forfeiture of any non-vested portion of a participant's accrued benefit, the amount of such forfeiture shall be credited against the future contributions of the employer under the plan as provided under Subsection 287.03(a).
(b) Return of contributions. A participant who terminates employment for causes other than death or disability prior to entitlement to a pension hereunder, the total amount of the contributions paid into the pension fund by such member including pick-up contributions (pursuant to Subsection 287.03(b)(6)) shall be refunded to him or her without interest. If any such member shall have returned to him or her the amount contributed, and shall afterward again become a member of the Police Department, he or she shall not be entitled to the pension designated until twenty years after his or her re-employment (and upon reaching age fifty, if later,) unless he shall return to the Pension Fund the amount withdrawn, in which event the period of twenty years shall be computed from the time the member first became a member of the Police Department, excluding therefrom any period of time during which the member was not employed by the Police Department.
