26 service above 20 years and up to 30 years, and 1% for each
27 year of such service above 30 years, by his annual final rate
28 of earnings and dividing by 12.

6 elected in accordance with the provisions of Section 367h of
7 the Illinois Insurance Code, as now or hereafter amended, the
8 total monthly premium for such continued group insurance
9 coverage or such portion thereof as is not paid by the
10 municipality shall, upon request of the person electing such
11 continued group insurance coverage, be deducted from any
12 monthly pension benefit otherwise payable to such person
13 pursuant to this Section, to be remitted by the Fund to the
14 insurance company or other entity providing the group
15 insurance coverage.
16 (c) A sheriff's law enforcement employee who has service
17 in any other capacity may convert up to 10 years of that
18 service into service as a sheriff's law enforcement employee
19 by paying to the Fund an amount equal to the additional
20 contribution required under Section 7-173.1, plus interest at
