The superintendent shall maintain at public expense for the benefit of all retirants that group life insurance mentioned in section ten of this article. The superintendent, when he or she is of opinion that the public safety shall require, may recall to active duty during any period determined by the superintendent, any retiree who is retired under the provisions of section twenty-seven of this article, provided the consent of the retiree to reassume duties of active membership shall first be obtained.

When the former retirant is released from active duty, he or she shall reassume the status of retirement and shall be entitled to receive appropriate benefits as provided by this article: Provided, That the amount of the benefits shall in no event be less than the amount determined by the order of the board previously made in his or her behalf.
