 7        Sec. 5-132. Minimum annuity.  Any policeman who withdraws

10    Act of 1957 who withdraws on or after July  17,  1959,  after
11    completing at least 20 years of service, for whom the annuity
12    otherwise  provided  in this Article is less than that stated
13    in this Section has a right to receive annuity as follows:
14        (a)  If he is age 55 or more on withdrawal,  his  annuity
15    after  such  withdrawal,  shall be equal to 2% of the average
16    salary for 4 consecutive years of highest salaries within the
17    last 10 years of service before withdrawal, for each year  of
18    service,  together  with 1/6 of 1% of such average salary for
19    each complete month of service of each fractional  year,  but
20    not in excess of 75% of the average annual salary.
21        (b)  If  he  is  age  50  or more but less than age 55 on
22    withdrawal, his annuity shall be equal to 2% of  the  average
23    salary  for  the  4  highest consecutive years of the last 10
24    years of service for each year of service, together with 1/16
25    of  1%  of  such  average  salary  for  each  month  of  each
26    fractional year of service, reduced by 1/2  of  1%  for  each
27    month that he is less than age 55.
28        (c)  If  he  is  less  than age 50 on withdrawal, he may,
29    upon attainment of age 50 or over,  become  entitled  to  the
30    annuity provided in this Section or, he may, upon application
31    before  age  50,  receive  a  refund  of  the deductions from

 2    to refund under Section 5-163.
 3        (d)  In  lieu  of  the  annuity provided in the foregoing
 4    provisions of this Section 5-132 any policeman who  withdraws
 5    from  the  service  after  December  31,  1973,  after having
 6    attained age 53 in the service  with  23  or  more  years  of
 7    service  credit  shall  be entitled to an annuity computed as
 8    follows if such annuity is greater than that provided in  the
 9    foregoing  paragraphs of this Section 5-132: An annuity equal
10    to 50% of the average salary for the  4  highest  consecutive
11    years of the last 10 years of service plus additional annuity
12    equal to 2% of such average salary for each completed year of
13    service  or fraction thereof rendered after his attainment of
14    age 53 and the completion of 23 years of service.
15        Any policeman who has completed 23 years of service prior
16    to his attainment of age 53 in the service and  continues  in
17    the  service  until his attainment of age 53 shall have added
18    to his annuity,  computed  as  provided  in  the  immediately
19    preceding  paragraph,  an  additional  annuity equal to 1% of
20    such average salary for each completed  year  of  service  or
21    fraction thereof in excess of 23 years up to age 53.
22        (e)  In  lieu  of  the  annuity provided in the foregoing
23    provisions of this Section any policeman who  withdraws  from
24    the  service either (i) after December 31, 1983 with at least
25    22 years of service credit and having attained age 52 in  the
26    service,  or  (ii)  after  December 31, 1984 with at least 21
27    years of service credit and having attained  age  51  in  the

 4    rendered  after his completion of the minimum number of years
 5    of service  required  for  him  to  be  eligible  under  this
 6    subsection (e).
 7        In lieu of any other annuity provided under this Section,
 8    a  policeman  who  withdraws  from service after December 31,
 9    2002 with at least 20 years of service credit, regardless  of
10    age,  shall  be  entitled to an annuity, to begin not earlier
11    than  upon  attainment  of  age  50  if  under  such  age  at
12    withdrawal, equal to 50% of the salary attached to  the  rank
13    held  on the last day of service or for one year prior to the
14    last day, whichever is greater, plus 2.5% of that salary  for
15    each  completed year of service or remaining fraction thereof
16    over 20 years.
17        However, the annuity provided under this  subsection  (e)

21    may,  in  addition,  be  entitled to the benefits provided by
22    Section 5-167.1 of this Article if he so qualifies under that
23    Section.
24        Except as provided in subsection (g), if, on  withdrawal,
25    total  service is less than 20 years, the policeman shall not
26    be entitled to an annuity under this Section but may  receive
27    an  annuity under the other provisions of this Article or, if
28    entitled  thereto  under  Section  5-163,  a  refund  of  the
29    deductions from salary, including, in the case  of  policemen
30    transferred  to  the  police  service  of  the city under the
31    Exchange  of  Functions   Act   of   1957,   the   additional
32    contribution  paid on salary received from August 1, 1957, to
33    July 17, 1959, as provided in the  Park  Policemen's  Annuity
34    Act, together with interest at 1 1/2% per annum.

 9    not apply to any policeman who, having retired before July 8,
10    1957,  or  before  July  17, 1959, in the case of a policeman
11    transferred under the provisions of the Exchange of Functions
12    Act of 1957, re-enters the police service after  such  dates,

17    8 but fewer than 20 years of service credit shall be entitled
18    to an annuity equal to 2.5% of the  salary  attached  to  the
19    rank  he  or  she  held on the last day of service or for one
20    year prior to the last day, whichever is  greater,  for  each
