allowance determined as provided in § 51-135.

(b) If the member who has attained the age of sixty years has not at
that time as much as twenty-five years creditable service, his membership
status under this chapter shall be continued and he shall remain in employ-
ment until he has reached age sixty-five or has twenty-five years of credit-
able service, or meets the requirements under § 51-136 except for having
already attained the age of sixty years, whichever first occurs, and shall
forthwith be retired under this chapter with a retirement allowance de-
termined as provided in § 51-135.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above

actuarially reduced retirement allowance as provided in § 51-135.

(d) If within five years after ceasing to be employed as a State police
Officer, provided he has not been paid his accumulated contributions, the
member accepts employment in a position * not covered by this chapter but
covered under the Virginia Supplemental Retirement Act, he shall be
entitled to credit for his previous creditable service under this chapter
upon transfer of his accumulated contributions to the members’ contribu-
tion account in the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System. Future re-
tirement rights shall be as set forth in such act except in determining the

pensation shall be the annual creditable compensation on the effective date

tem and the period of membership to be used shall be the service credited
