(a) Credits and charges to account.--The State Police benefit account shall be the ledger account to which shall be credited all contributions received under the provisions of the act of May 12, 1943 (P.L.259, No.120), referred to as the Foreign Casualty Insurance Premium Tax Allocation Law, and any additional Commonwealth or other employer contributions provided for in section 5507 (relating to contributions to the system by the Commonwealth and other employers) which are creditable to the State Police benefit account. The State Police benefit account shall be credited with the required interest. In addition, upon the filing of an application for an annuity by a member who is an officer of the Pennsylvania State Police, the total accumulated deductions standing to the credit of the member in the members' savings account and the necessary reserves from the State accumulation account shall be transferred to the State Police benefit account. Thereafter, the total annuity of such annuitant shall be charged to the State Police benefit account and paid from the fund.
(b) Transfers from account.--Should the said annuitant be subsequently restored to active service as a member of the system or as a participant in the plan, the present value of the member's annuity at the time of reentry into State service shall be transferred from the State Police benefit account and placed to his individual credit in the members' savings account. In addition, the actuarial reserve for his annuity, calculated as if he had been a member of Class A if he has Class A or Class C service credited, less the amount transferred to the members' savings account shall be transferred from the State Police benefit account to the State accumulation account. Upon subsequent retirement other than as an officer of the Pennsylvania State Police the actuarial reserve remaining in the State Police benefit account shall be transferred to the appropriate reserve account.
