and remain eligible to retire and receive a service retirement annuity at any time after

authorized eligibility under this subsection or are subject to Section 854.102(e) of this subtitle.
(c) Any employee of this City who is a member of the System is eligible to retire
and receive a service retirement annuity, if the member has at least 25 years of credited
service in that System performed for one or more municipalities that have participation
dates after August 31, 1987, or have adopted a like provision under Section 854.202(f) of
the TMRS Act.
(d) If a member to whom subsection (b) of Section 854.204(b) of the TMRS Act, shall

spouse may by written notice filed with the System elect to leave the accumulated deposits
on deposit with the System subject to the terms and conditions of said Section 854.204(b).
If the accumulated deposits have not been withdrawn before such time as the member, if

to receive, in lieu of the accumulated deposits, an annuity payable monthly thereafter during
the lifetime of the surviving spouse in such amount as would have been payable had the
member lived and retired at the date under a joint and survivor annuity (Option 1) payable
during the lifetime of the member and continuing thereafter during the lifetime of the
surviving spouse.

spouse shall die before payment of the first monthly benefit of an annuity allowed under
this section, the accumulated contributions credited to the account of the member shall
be paid to the estate of such spouse.
(f) Any employee of this City who is a member of the System and who performed
service for this City prior to September 1, 1987 (for which service that employee did not

service credit with the System for all of such service (performed after the date of his or
her latest employment by the City) that is prior to September 1, 1987, for which the employee

and receive a "standard occupational disability annuity" under Section 854.408 of the TMRS
Act or an "optional occupational disability retirement annuity" under Section 854.410 of
the TMRS Act upon making application therefor upon such form and in such manner as may
be prescribed by the Board of Trustees of the System provided that the System's medical
board has certified to said Board of Trustees: (1) that the member is physically or mentally
disabled for further performance of the duties of the member's employment; (2) that the
disability is likely to be permanent; and (3) that the member should be retired. Any annuity
granted under this subsection shall be subject to the provisions of Section 854.409 of the
