| withhold a monthly benefit payment for a retiree who retired under | ||
| Section 824.202 and qualified for an exception under Section | ||
| 824.602 unless: | ||

| retiree of that fact; and | ||

| the retiree that equals the total sum the retiree: | ||
| (i) earned for all employment by Texas | ||
| public educational institutions for each month occurring after the | ||
| issuance of the warning under Subdivision (1) and before the month | ||
| the system began withholding benefit payments under this section; | ||

| under Subdivision (1) and before the month the system began | ||
| withholding benefit payments under this section. | ||
