(1) If reemployment occurs prior to the pension eligibility date, or before the end of thirty days following the pension eligibility date, two months' pension allowance shall be forfeited.

(2) If reemployment occurs after thirty days but before the end of sixty days following the pension eligibility date, one month's pension allowance shall be forfeited.

(3) A DROP participants' pension eligibility date is the day following the event terminating the member's participation in DROP as defined by sections 5505.55, 5505.56, and 5505.58 of the Revised Code.
