(b)Limitation.--If, under section 401, a retiree is entitled to be paid a special ad hoc postretirement adjustment by more than one municipal retirement system, the amount of the special ad hoc postretirement adjustment under subsection (a) shall be reduced so that the total of all these adjustments paid to the retiree does not exceed the amount specified in subsection (a).
