The provisions of § 3-12C-1401 do not apply if the retired member is at least fifty-nine and a half years of age when the member begins receiving retirement benefits and is employed for less than twelve hundred fifty hours during the fiscal year of the participating unit. However, if the retired member completes twelve hundred fifty hours or more during a fiscal year of the participating unit, the member's benefits shall be suspended. The suspension ceases if the member terminates employment. If the member is subsequently reemployed, the provisions of §§ 3-12C-1401, 3-12C-1405, and 3-12C-1406 apply, where applicable.
