The retirement allowance provided by this section, which shall be effective for members who retire on and after April 1, 1998, is granted subject to future reduction prior to a member’s retirement, by offset of federal system benefits or otherwise, as the Legislature may from time to time deem appropriate because of changes in such federal system benefits.
