Code of Alabama
Article 9 - Alabama Firefighters Annuity and Benefit Fund.
Section 36-21-195 - Effect of Modifications; Coverage for Retired Members Upon Return to Active Service.

(a) All rights, annuities, and benefits provided herein shall be subject to future change by the Legislature, and subject to future changes or revisions as provided in this article, and no current or future member or beneficiary shall be deemed to have any vested right in the fund or to any annuity or benefit provided in this article. However, when the board has approved a member's application for a retirement annuity or benefit and the member has actually received benefits pursuant to the board's determination for a period of two years, then the board's determination as to the member's years of qualified service shall be conclusive, and the board shall not thereafter arrive at a different determination except in the case of fraud or misrepresentation of any fact by the applicant.
(b) Any member who is receiving retirement benefits and returns to active fire fighting shall be covered under Section 36-21-189.
