423A.12 SERVICE CREDIT FOR PERIODS OF DISABILITY.

(a) If the articles of incorporation or bylaws of a local police or salaried firefighters' relief association, whichever is applicable, so provide, any relief association member who received a disability benefit from the relief association on account of a medically determinable illness or injury which was at the time of the determination of the disability expected to be of permanent duration and who returned to active employment as a police officer or firefighter, whichever is applicable, shall be entitled to receive service credit toward the calculation of a service pension for the period or periods of the receipt of a disability benefit.

(b) The maximum service credit which a relief association member may obtain pursuant to this subdivision shall be that amount of service credit which, when added to the service credit of the member for active duty, equals the amount of service credit which would entitle the member to a service pension in an amount equal to the amount of the disability benefit provided by the relief association.
