(a) The retirement system shall deposit in the supplemental disability benefits fund contributions made to provide supplemental disability benefits in accordance with previous law. The retirement system may not establish separate accounts in the fund for municipalities participating in the fund but shall credit contributions to a single account.

(c) The beginning date of participation of each municipality participating in the supplemental disability benefits fund is that determined by the board of trustees. Participation terminates January 1, 1988.

(d) When all annuities payable from the supplemental disability benefits fund have been finally paid and discharged, the board of trustees shall direct that the money remaining in the supplemental disability benefits fund shall be transferred and credited to the accounts of the respective participating municipalities in the benefit accumulation fund in proportion to the same ratios of their contributions to the total of all contributions to the supplemental disability benefits fund.
