(c) Time during which annuity payments are suspended as provided by this section does not reduce the number of months payments are to be made under an optional benefit plan providing for a specific amount of benefits for a guaranteed number of months after retirement. (d) Before a retiree takes the oath of office for a position as a judicial officer other than under appointment or assignment described by Section 832.101, the retiree shall notify the retirement system in writing of the resumption of office and the projected dates of service.
