(b)(1)(A) At the time of retirement, a member electing to participate shall be eligible to receive a lump-sum distribution in an amount not exceeding one (1) month of benefit for each completed month of service beyond eligibility for an unreduced benefit.

(B) The lump sum shall not exceed an amount equal to sixty (60) months of benefits.

(2) The member electing to participate in the partial-annuity-and-lump-sum option shall then have the member's annuity reduced by an amount that is an actuarially determined equivalent of the withdrawal amount.
