Section 4
SEC. 4. A justice of the peace declared retired under the provisions of this Act may be reappointed to any position in the National Government, but by accepting such reappointment, he shall forever waive all future gratuity payments and/or claims under the provisions of this Act. Similarly, a retired justice of the peace who, under the provisions of section two hereof, has discounted the gratuity payments to which he is entitled shall, upon his reappointment to any position in the National Government, first refund to the investment fund or to the bank to which he has ceded his rights to the gratuity payments, those which he would not yet have received had these been made to him in monthly installments: Provided, That, upon being satisfied that the financial situation of a retired justice of the peace reappointed to any position in the National Government does not allow his making the refund herein required, the respective Department Head may authorize the payment of the sum to be refunded in monthly installments equivalent to one-third of the sums being paid by the National Government to the investment fund or bank, to be deducted from the monthly payment accruing to such retired and reappointed justice of the peace after reappointment, such monthly deduction to continue until the last monthly installment payable by the National Government to the investment fund or bank and the remaining two-thirds or the unpaid part thereof remaining uncollected at the end of each month from the salary of the justice of the peace concerned shall have been paid in full.
