A.
A Disabled Participant shall be entitled to receive a monthly benefit equal to 1/2 of the monthly average salary of such member during the last 36 months of employment, which benefit shall be known hereinafter as the "Disability Benefit." The Disability Benefit shall commence on the first day of the calendar month coincident with or next following the date on which the Member has satisfied the Plan's definition of Disability and shall continue, except as noted below, until the earliest of his death or recovery from Disability.
B.
Notwithstanding Subsection A, for disabilities incurred on or after April 17, 2002, the disability benefit payable to a Participant who suffers a Disability is the greater of: (i) the benefit under Subsection A, or (ii) a monthly benefit calculated at 50% of the Participant's salary (within the meaning of Act 30 of 2002) at the time the Disability was incurred, provided that any Participant who receives benefits for the same injuries under the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 301 et seq.) shall have his Disability benefits offset or reduced by the amount of such benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, anyone receiving benefits under this subsection shall receive no other disability or retirement benefits under this Plan, and no one shall be entitled to any benefits under clause (ii) greater than those required under Act 30 of 2002.
