reduced.

determined as though the payment to the nonmember had not occurred;
and subdivisions (c), (d), and (e) shall not apply.
(c) If the member leaves judicial office before accruing at least
five years of service, he or she shall be paid the dollar amount of
his or her contributions to the system minus the amount paid to the
nonmember, and no other amount.

of service and either: (1) elects, pursuant to subdivision (e) of
Section 75522, to receive the amount of his or her monetary credits;
