A retirement allowance granted by this chapter is payable in equal monthly installments but a smaller pro rata amount may be paid for part of a month when the period of payment begins after the first or ends before the last day of the month.
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
