(1) The eligible member's death.

(2) The eligible member's discharge because of disability incurred in the line of duty.

(3) The eligible member's discharge because of a medical determination that the eligible member is medically unfit for duty if the medical condition is outside the eligible member's control and is not due to the eligible member's misconduct.
