4. If a police officer or firefighter who accepted another position with the public employer with which the police officer or firefighter was employed when the police officer or firefighter became disabled pursuant to subsection 3 ceases to work for that public employer before becoming eligible to retire pursuant to subsection 2, the police officer or firefighter may begin to receive a disability retirement allowance without further approval by the Board by notifying the Board on a form prescribed by the Board.

5. Eligibility for retirement, as provided in this section, does not require the member to have been a participant in the System at the beginning of the police officer's or firefighter's credited service.
