Upon retirement for disability as provided in subsection A of this section, a member,

A. If his disability is determined by the retirement board to be the result of injury or illness incurred in the performance of duty, shall receive:

1. An annuity which shall be the actuarial equivalent of his accumulated contributions, excluding his accumulated dependent contributions, unless he exercises his option as provided in Section 2.92.140 at the time of his retirement;

2. A pension which, when added to the annuity purchased by his accumulated normal contributions, shall be equal to a monthly retirement allowance of one-half of his final compensation.

B. If his disability is determined by the retirement board to be not the result of injury or illness incurred in the performance of duty, shall receive:

1. An annuity which shall be the actuarial equivalent of his accumulated contributions, excluding his accumulated dependent contributions, unless he exercises his option as provided in Section 2.92.140 at the time of his retirement; and

2. A pension which, when added to the annuity purchased by his accumulated normal contributions, shall make his retirement allowance equal to: one and one-quarter percent of his final compensation multiplied by the number of years credited to him, provided such allowance is at least one-fourth of his final compensation; or one and one-quarter percent of his final compensation multiplied by the number of years of service credited to him were his service to continue until his attainment of the age of fifty-five years, provided such retirement allowance does not exceed one-fourth of such final compensation.

C. Upon the death of a member who has been retired by reason of disability as a result of injury or illness incurred in the performance of duty, the retirement allowance shall be continued to his widow to whom he was married at least one year prior to his retirement throughout her life or until she remarries. Upon the death of a member who has been retired by reason of disability which is not the result of injury or illness incurred in the performance of duty, two-thirds of the retirement allowance shall be continued to his widow to whom he was married at least one year prior to his retirement and who is of the same age as the member throughout her life or until she remarries. If such widow is of a different age than the member, then the retirement allowance which shall be so continued to her shall be the actuarial equivalent of the retirement allowance which would have been continued to her had she been the same age as said member. If there is no such widow or if any such widow dies, then the allowance which would have been paid to her had she survived such member and been eligible therefor or had she continued to live, shall be paid to the legally appointed guardian of the child or children of such deceased member until such child or children dies or have attained the age of eighteen years. If payment of the allowance terminates by reason of the remarriage of the widow or the attainment of the age of eighteen years by such child or children before the total of the monthly payments made shall equal the sum of the member’s contributions, with interest thereon, as of the date of his retirement, then an amount equal to the difference between the total and the sum shall be paid in one amount to his remarried widow or, if there is no such widow, to his child or children; provided, however, that such amount shall not be paid to any widow who was not married to such member at least one year prior to his retirement.
