Pub. L. 83-74, tit. III, sec. 301

Sec. 301. Notwithstanding section 6 of the Act entitled “An Act to fix the salaries of officers and members of the Metropolitan Police Force and Fire Department of the District of Columbia”, approved July 1, 1930 (46 Stat. 841, ch. 783, D. C. Code, 1951 edition, sec. 4–505), each individual heretofore or hereafter retired from active service and entitled to receive a pension relief allowance or retirement compensation under the provisions of section 12 of the Act entitled “An Act making appropriations to provide for the expenses of the government of the District of Columbia for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and seventeen, and for other purposes”, approved September 1, 1916 (39 Stat. 676), as amended, shall be entitled to receive, without making application therefor, with respect to each increase in salary granted by this Act, or hereafter granted by law to which such individual would be entitled if he were in active service, an increase in his pension relief allowance or retirement compensation. Such increase shall be in an amount which bears the same ratio to such increase in salary as the amount of each such individual’s pension relief allowance or retirement compensation in effect on the day next preceding such salary increase bore to the salary to which he would have been entitled had he been in active service on the day next preceding such salary increase. Each increase in pension relief allowance or retirement compensation under this title resulting from an increase in salary shall take effect as of the first day of the first month following the effective date of such increase in salary.
