30    of  his  or  her  salary  under subsection (d) for all or any
31    portion of that period for which the allowance was  received,
32    by  applying  in  writing  and paying to the Fund, no earlier

 7    annuity  at  the  time  the  application and contribution are
 8    received by the Fund, the annuity shall be  recalculated  and
 9    the  resulting  increase  shall  become  payable  on the next
10    annuity payment date following the date the  contribution  is
