(b) If his or her earnings are further altered, the board shall further alter that portion of his or her retirement allowance to the lower of the following amounts:

(1) The amount of that portion of his or her retirement allowance as it would be if not reduced under this section.

(2) An amount that, when added to the compensation earned by him or her, equals the amount of the compensation that would be earnable by a person holding the same or an equal position as or to that which he or she held at the time of his or her retirement, and in the same salary step or rating, or if no such position then exists, the compensation earnable immediately prior to its abolition.

(c) For purposes of this section, the retirement allowance subject to adjustment is the unmodified allowance irrespective of the option elected.
