1. The member's calculated benefit shall be based on the benefit provisions in effect at subsequent retirement and shall include the member's and spouse's ages, salary earned during the period of reemployment, total service credits earned after reemployment, and actuarial factors in effect at subsequent retirement.2. If a member dies during subsequent employment, the member's initial retirement benefit option election will apply and the date of death will be considered the subsequent retirement date. 3. If a member's spouse dies during the subsequent employment of the member, section 71-02-04-04 applies to the member's initial and subsequent retirement benefit calculation.N.D. Admin Code 71-02-07-02
