He or she shall be entitled  to all rights  and privileges in the system, including death and disability benefits,  subject to the limitations herein provided, except refund of retirement  annuity contributions.Upon subsequent retirement, the participant shall be entitled  to a retirement  annuity consisting of: (1) the amount of retirement annuity previously  granted and terminated by re-entry into service; and (2) the  amount of additional retirement annuity earned during the  additional service based on the provisions in effect at the date of such subsequent  retirement.  However, the total retirement annuity shall not  exceed the maximum retirement annuity applicable  at the date of the participant's last  retirement.

Pickup of contributions.(a) The State shall pick up the participant contributions  required under Section 2-126 for all salary  earned after December 31, 1981. The contributions so picked  up shall be treated as employer contributions in determining tax treatment  under the United States Internal Revenue Code.  The State shall pay these  participant contributions from the same source of funds which is used in  paying salary to the participant.  The State may pick up these  contributions by a reduction in the cash salary of the participant.

The employer shall pick up the contributions by a reduction in the  cash salary of the participant and shall pay the contributions from the same  fund that is used to pay earnings to the participant.  The election to have optional contributions picked up is irrevocable and the  optional contributions may not thereafter be prepaid, by direct payment or  otherwise.  If the provision authorizing the optional contribution requires  payment by a stated date (rather than the date of withdrawal or retirement),  that requirement shall be deemed to have been satisfied if (i) on or before the  stated date the participant executes a valid irrevocable election to have the  contributions picked up under this subsection, and (ii) the picked-up  contributions are in fact paid to the System as provided in the election.
