Sec. 7. (a) The monthly assessments against the salary of a member of a 1925, 1937, 1953, or 1977 fund shall be waived while the member is on temporary leave of absence under section 3 of this chapter or on a leave of absence that qualifies for the protections afforded by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (38 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.).
(b) A member of a 1925, 1937, 1953, or 1977 fund does not lose the member's benefits from the fund because the member fails to pay assessments that are assessed against the member while on temporary leave or on a leave of absence that qualifies for the protections afforded by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (38 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.).
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, a member of the 1925, 1937, 1953, or 1977 fund is entitled to service credit and benefits in the amount and to the extent required by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (38 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.).
