				monthly benefit will be a prorata amount based on the maximum monthly
				retirement benefit in effect at the time of the member's retirement to which

				less than 55, the member's maximum monthly retirement benefit will be reduced

				rejoin the Fund as an active member. After their reemployment has terminated

				If the member acquires less than seven (7) years of subsequent creditable
				service, the benefit amount will be based on the firefighter's age at the
				original retirement date and creditable service earned at the date reemployment
				was terminated.
(b) If the member
				acquires seven (7) years (or more) of creditable service during the period of
				re-employment, the benefit amount will be based on the firefighters' age and
				creditable service earned at the date reemployment was terminated.
