N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 13-229: § 13-229 Contributions of the city and their use; pension reserve fund.

The pension reserve fund shall be the fund from which shall be paid all pensions, and all pensions-provided-for-increased-take-home-pay, and all benefits in lieu of pensions, and all benefits in lieu of pensions-providing-for-increased-take-home-pay, if any, allowable by the city on account of the city-service of members. Should any pension or pension-providing-for-increased-take-home-pay payable from such pension reserve fund be cancelled, the pension reserve or reserve-for-increased-take-home-pay thereon shall thereupon be transferred from the pension reserve fund to the contingent reserve fund.
