(a) If there is not sufficient money to the
credit of the 1925 fund to pay all claims against it in full, claims arising
from the death of members of the department shall be paid in full first
with as little delay as possible, after which an equal percentage shall be
paid upon all other claims to the full extent of the money on hand, until
the fund is replenished.
(b) All pensions shall be paid by the treasurer of the local board at
the treasurer's office at the same time and in the same installments as
the members of the police department are paid.
(c) All pensions payable out of the 1925 fund are exempt from
seizure or levy upon attachment, execution, supplemental process, and
all other process, whether mesne or final. Except as provided in section
21 of this chapter, pensions are not subject to sale, assignment, or
transfer by a beneficiary.
(d) However, the member's contributions or benefits, or both, may
be transferred to reimburse the member's employer for loss resulting
from the member's criminal taking of the employer's property by the
treasurer of the local board if the treasurer receives adequate proof of
the loss. The loss resulting from the member's criminal taking of the
employer's property must be proven by an order for restitution in favor
of the employer issued by the sentencing court following a felony or
misdemeanor conviction.
(e) The treasurer of the local board may withhold payment of the
member's contributions and interest if the employer of the member
notifies the treasurer that felony or misdemeanor charges accusing the
member of the criminal taking of the employer's property have been
filed.
(f) The treasurer of the local board may withhold payment of a
person's contributions and interest under subsection (e) until the final
resolution of the criminal charges.
