(a) Any district attorney who resigns or otherwise becomes disqualified to hold his office shall be entitled to withdraw the total amount, without interest, which such district attorney has paid to the fund. If any district attorney dies, the total amount, without interest, paid by such district attorney to the fund shall be paid to the district attorney's surviving spouse, if any, or to such district attorney's personal representative.

(b) In the case of the death of any district attorney receiving benefits from the fund at the time of death and who is not survived by a spouse or in case of the death of a surviving spouse of a district attorney who is receiving benefits, where neither the district attorney, the surviving spouse, or both, have received the total amount, without interest, paid by the district attorney to the fund, the district attorney's estate shall receive from the fund the remainder of such payments.

(c) The employee contributions paid by the employer to the fund on behalf of a district attorney under subsection (c) of Code Section 47-12-43 after July 1, 1980, shall be considered to be payments made by the district attorney.
