Solely for purposes of calculating salary under this subsection, a member who is receiving workers' compensation benefits from the government shall be credited with any salary the member would have otherwise been paid while receiving workers' compensation benefits if the member voluntarily elects to pay to the fund an amount equivalent to the employee contribution established by KRS 67A.510 on the salary the member did not receive during the period workers' compensation benefits were paid. 2. If the member elects to make the employee contribution payment to the fund authorized by this paragraph, the government shall pay to the fund an amount equivalent to the employer contribution required by KRS 67A.520 on the salary the member did not receive during the period workers' compensation benefits were paid. 3.

Any retiree or surviving spouse who, as of July 1, 2023, is receiving a monthly annuity of less than one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) shall have his or her monthly annuity increased to one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500), except for those retirees and surviving spouses of retirees who are receiving disability benefits not due to occupational causes as provided by KRS 67A.470.
