Sec. 11-237. - Service-connected disability.

(a)

A member incurring disability resulting from an act of duty shall be entitled to a service connected annuity equal to 66.66 percent of the rate of salary in effect at the date of disability.

(b)

Such annuity shall be increased ten percent of such salary on account of each minor child of the member who is under age 18, payable until attainment of age 18, subject to maximum payment for the combined annuities to a member and minor children equal to 80 percent of salary. Legally adopted children of the member shall be considered for benefit hereunder on the same basis as children of the blood. This only applies to each minor child, including in utero at the time the service connected annuity is approved.

(c)

If a member in receipt of such annuity shall recover from disability and reenter active service, such member shall be entitled to a credit as service for the purposes of the system for the time the member was in receipt of a service-connected disability annuity as though he were in active service during such period, and no contributions for such period shall be required from the member. Reentry into service shall be at the discretion of the board.
