(e) For a relief association in which the governing bylaws
provide for a monthly benefit service pension as an alternative
form of service pension payment to a lump sum service pension,
the maximum service pension amount for each pension payment type
must be determined using the applicable table contained in this
subdivision.

(f) If a relief association establishes a service pension
in compliance with the applicable maximum contained in paragraph
(c) or (d) and the minimum average amount of available financing
per active covered firefighter is subsequently reduced because
of a reduction in fire state aid or because of an increase in
the number of active firefighters, the relief association may
continue to provide the prior service pension amount specified
in its bylaws, but may not increase the service pension amount
until the minimum average amount of available financing per
firefighter under the table in paragraph (c) or (d), whichever
applies, permits.

(g) No relief association is authorized to provide a
service pension in an amount greater than the largest applicable
flexible service pension maximum amount even if the amount of
available financing per firefighter is greater than the
financing amount associated with the largest applicable flexible
service pension maximum.
