Sec. 28.
(1) Except as provided in section 24(4) and subject to subsection (3), a member who retires due to nonduty incurred disability on or after the effective date of this act and after completing 10 years of credited service under this act or former 1935 PA 251, or both, is entitled to receive a retirement allowance equal to 2.4% of the member's final average compensation times the number of years, including any fraction of a year, of service credited to the member pursuant to this act or former 1935 PA 251, or both, but not to exceed 25 years, during the period of disability. Except as provided in section 24(4), if a retirant receiving a retirement allowance under this section dies, the retirement allowance must continue to be paid to the surviving spouse for the rest of the spouse's life in an amount equal to the retirement allowance that the member was receiving on the date of his or her death.
(2) For purposes of this section, if there is no surviving spouse or on the spouse's death, the retirement allowance must be paid to the children under the age of 18 of the member, share and share alike. If there are no eligible children remaining after the spouse's death, there must be paid to the deceased member's estate any residual accumulated contributions and interest made by him or her into the reserve for employee contributions.
(3) The retirement allowance payable under this section must be offset by the actuarially determined value of the employer-funded portion plus the associated investment growth and employer contributions made under section 15a and earnings on the contributions.
(4) A member, former member, or beneficiary of a deceased member, which member first becomes a member on or after June 10, 2012 and who is eligible for a retirement allowance under this section, is eligible for health insurance coverage under section 42 in all respects and under the same terms as would be a member who first becomes a member before June 10, 2012. A member who is eligible for health insurance coverage under section 42 as described in this subsection is not vested in any employer contributions under section 42a(1).
