Upon the member's conversion of disabled status to retired status, upon the member's termination of disabled status, or upon the member's termination of employment, whichever occurs first, the member may request a refund of the member's accumulated contributions made during that period when the member also was receiving credited service due to the disability. The provisions of this section apply to any member whose application for disability benefits is received by the system prior to July 1, 2015.
