  become a member of the retirement system.
    (2) His or her retirement allowance shall thereupon be suspended, and,
  subject to the provisions of paragraph three of this subdivision  a,  he

  at  the  same  rate  as  he  or  she paid prior to his or her disability
  retirement, subject to the provisions of section 13-152 of this chapter.
    (3) In any case  where  any  such  beneficiary  reinstated  under  the

  reinstated  as  a  transit  twenty-year  plan  member  (as  defined   in
  subdivision  sixty-one  of section 13-101 of this chapter) and he or she
  is relieved, pursuant  to  subdivision  l  of  section  13-161  of  this
  chapter,  of  making contributions, such member shall not be required to

    b.  A  disability  beneficiary  who has been or shall be reinstated to
  active service as provided in  section  13-171  of  this  chapter  at  a

  or  she  was  retired,  or  who  has  been  otherwise   re-employed   in
  city-service  at  such a lesser compensation, may at his or her election
  again become a member of the  retirement  system,  provided  he  or  she
  waives  the  right to receive any disability retirement allowance during
  the entire period of such resumed membership.

  shall  be  restored to full force and effect, and, in addition, upon his
  or her subsequent retirement, he or she shall be credited  with  all  of
  his or her service as a member subsequent to his or her last restoration
