A. If any member of the police department should be discharged from service for reasons of economy or reduction in force due to no fault of the member and later should be reemployed by the police department, his right to the privileges and benefits of this Subpart shall continue as from the date of original employment without any loss of rights and privileges due to such period of absence from service with the limitation, however, that such leave shall not exceed a period of four years. In the event the period of absence exceeds said period of four years, all rights and privileges under this Subpart shall terminate.

In the event benefits are awarded to any member, widow, minor children, under the provisions of this Subpart, during a period of absence, the amount of benefits to be paid shall be determined by the board of directors.
