(a) If a member reinstates from service retirement under this part, payment of a retirement annuity based on the balance of credits that was transferred from the member’s Defined Benefit Supplement account to the Annuitant Reserve shall terminate. The member’s Defined Benefit Supplement account shall be credited with the actuarial equivalent of the member’s annuity as of the date the annuity is terminated and the Annuitant Reserve shall be reduced by the amount credited to the member’s account.
