3.12 	returns to active relief association membership under paragraph (b), the firefighter may

3.21 	424A.016, subdivision 3, or 424A.02, subdivision 2, based on the original and resumption

3.28 	pension for the resumption service period must be calculated by applying the service

3.35 	on the firefighter's original and resumption years of active service, must have, upon a

4.2 	firefighter's termination of the resumption service, or, if the bylaws so provide, based on 
4.3 	the service pension amount in effect on the date of the firefighter's previous cessation 
4.4 	of duties. The service pension for a firefighter who returns to active lump-sum relief 
4.5 	association membership under this paragraph, but who had met the minimum period 
4.6 	of resumption service requirement specified in the relief association's bylaws, must be 
4.7 	calculated by applying the service pension amount in effect on the date of the firefighter's 
4.8 	termination of the resumption service.

4.10 	monthly benefit relief association membership under paragraph (b), and if the relief 
4.11 	association bylaws do not allow for the firefighter to continue collecting a monthly service 
4.12 	pension, any monthly benefit service pension payable to the firefighter is suspended as 
4.13 	of the first day of the month next following the date on which the firefighter returns to 
4.14 	active membership. If the firefighter was receiving a monthly benefit service pension, 
4.15 	and qualifies for a service pension under paragraph (c), the firefighter is entitled to 
4.16 	an additional monthly benefit service pension upon a subsequent cessation of duties 
4.17 	calculated based on the resumption service credit and the service pension accrual amount 
4.18 	in effect on the date of the termination of the resumption service. A suspended initial 
4.19 	service pension resumes as of the first of the month next following the termination of the 
4.20 	resumption service. If the firefighter was not receiving a monthly benefit service pension

4.22 	pension must be calculated by applying the service pension amount in effect on the date of 
4.23 	the firefighter's termination of the resumption service for all years of service credit.
4.24 	(h) A firefighter who was not receiving a monthly benefit service pension returns to 
4.25 	active relief association membership under paragraph (b), who did not meet the minimum 
4.26 	period of resumption service requirement specified in the relief association's bylaws, but 
4.27 	who does meet the minimum service requirement of section 424A.02, subdivision 2, 
4.28 	based on the firefighter's original and resumption years of active service, must have, 
4.29 	upon a subsequent cessation of duties, a service pension for the original and resumption 
4.30 	service periods calculated by applying the service pension amount in effect on the date of 
4.31 	the firefighter's termination of the resumption service, or, if the bylaws so provide, based 
4.32 	on the service pension amount in effect on the date of the firefighter's previous cessation 
4.33 	of duties. The service pension for a firefighter who returns to active relief association 
4.34 	membership under this paragraph, but who had met the minimum period of resumption 
4.35 	service requirement specified in the relief association's bylaws, must be calculated by 
5.1 	applying the service pension amount in effect on the date of the firefighter's termination of 
5.2 	the resumption service.
5.3 	(i) For defined contribution plans, a firefighter who returns to active relief 
5.4 	association membership under paragraph (b) and who qualifies for a service pension 
5.5 	under paragraph (c) or (d) must have, upon a subsequent cessation of duties, any service 
5.6 	pension for the resumption service period calculated as a separate benefit. If a service 
5.7 	pension had been paid to the firefighter upon the firefighter's previous cessation of duties, 
5.8 	and if the firefighter meets the minimum service requirement of section 424A.016, 
5.9 	subdivision 3, based on the resumption years of service, a second service pension for 
5.10 	the resumption service period must be calculated to include allocations credited to the 
5.11 	firefighter's individual account during the resumption period of service and deductions 
5.12 	for administrative expenses, if applicable.
5.13 	(j) For defined contribution plans, if a firefighter who had not been paid a service 
5.14 	pension returns to active relief association membership under paragraph (b), and who 
5.15 	meets the minimum service requirement of section 424A.016, subdivision 3, based on 
5.16 	the firefighter's original and resumption years of service, must have, upon a subsequent 
5.17 	cessation of duties, a service pension for the original and resumption service periods 
5.18 	calculated to include allocations credited to the firefighter's individual account during 
5.19 	the original and resumption periodperiods of service and deductions for administrative 
5.20 	expenses, if applicable, less any amounts previously forfeited under section 424A.016, 
5.21 	subdivision 4.
