Any annuity rights based on a separation which (a) terminated service meeting this requirement, or (b) occurred prior to this amendment, shall be restored upon separation from subsequent service which fails to meet said requirement. Any officer or employee who shall have given notice of his desire to come within the purview of this Act pursuant to the last paragraph of section 3(a) of this Act shall be deemed for the purposes of this requirement to have been subject to the provisions of this Act during any period of service or part thereof ending not later than September 30, 1954, with respect to which there shall have been deposited the amounts specified in section 9. "No credit shall be allowed for any service subsequent to the date of the separation on which title to annuity is based. Any amounts deducted from salary for retirement purposes during such service shall upon separation be refunded to such officer or employee without interest, and shall be subject to redeposit as provided in section 12(b) (2) of this Act. Any such amount not so refunded to the officer or employee before his death shall be paid in the order of precedence prescribed in section 12(e)." Approved August 3 1, -1954. Public Law 731
