(a) A member of tier II who terminates before he is eligible for retirement, but after completing ten years of vesting service, shall be eligible for a vested retirement income calculated as described in subsection (c) of section 5-192l commencing upon reaching his sixty-fifth birthday. Alternatively, the member can elect to receive a retirement income commencing any time after his fifty-fifth birthday which is equal to the income that would be paid at age sixty-five, reduced by one-half of one per cent for each month the benefit commencement date precedes the member's sixty-fifth birthday.
(b) A member of tier II who has attained the age of seventy and completed at least five years of vesting service shall be vested in his retirement benefit under section 5-192l.
(c) A member of tier II who has completed twenty-five years of credited service while a hazardous duty member shall be vested in his retirement benefit under section 5-192n. For this purpose, leaves of absence, military service, and any other period of nonstate employment which is included as credited service shall be deemed credited service while a hazardous duty member only if state employment as a hazardous duty member immediately precedes and immediately succeeds such period of nonstate employment.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this section, if the member had completed at least twenty-five years of vesting service at the time of termination, the retirement income actually payable at any time after the member's fifty-fifth birthday shall in no event be less than: (1) If retirement occurs before July 1, 1983, $200; (2) if retirement occurs on or after July 1, 1983, and on or before June 30, 1984, $220; (3) if retirement occurs on or after July 1, 1984, and on or before June 30, 1985, $240; (4) if retirement occurs on or after July 1, 1985, and on or before June 30, 1986, $260; (5) if retirement occurs on or after July 1, 1986, and on or before June 30, 1987, $280; (6) if on or after July 1, 1987, $300.
