pension shall be reduced in accordance with a table of proportionate actuarial equivalents

recommended by the actuary and adopted by the commission reflecting all months that

a member lacks of having 30 years' service. (b) Should an employee member, after having completed at least 15 years of service

for which credit has been established in the pension fund, be separated voluntarily

or involuntarily from the service, and not by removal for cause on charges of misconduct

or delinquency, before reaching age 60, such person may elect to receive the payments

provided for in section 17 ( C. 43:13-22.19 ), if he so qualifies under said section, or a deferred pension beginning at age 60

or thereafter, in the amount that his years of service as credited in the fund bear

to the total number of years of service that he could have achieved had he continued

to age 60 or such necessary age that would have permitted him to qualify for the pension

of one-half of the salary he was receiving at the time he elected the deferred pension. (c) Upon and after the death of such pensioner, the benefits provided by section 18

( C. 43:13-22.20 ) shall be payable to his eligible survivors if they qualify under said section. 1
