Conn. Gen. Stat. § 5-163

(b) If the Retirement Commission finds, for a member who became a state employee on or before February 21, 1958, that the total of his monthly retirement income and the Social Security benefit he is entitled to receive resulting from state service at retirement is less than the retirement salary he would have received under the provisions of the retirement system in effect immediately before February 21, 1958, modified to the extent that the three highest-paid years rather than the five highest-paid years shall be used in determining the retirement income, then the Retirement Commission shall increase his monthly retirement income accordingly during the period when such lower total applies.

(c) Except as provided in section 5-163a , a member whose state service is terminated because of economy, lack of work, abolition of his position or lack of reappointment to a position in the unclassified service, or who, being an Army or Air National Guard technician in the Military Department, is dismissed by reason of separation from the National Guard because of age, after he has completed twenty-five years of state service but before he has reached his fifty-fifth birthday, shall be entitled to a retirement income. The amount of each monthly payment shall be determined from subsection (c) of section 5-162 , if the member elects the first day of the month on or after such birthday as his retirement date; and shall be the actuarial equivalent of such amount, as determined by the Retirement Commission, if the member elects the first day of the month on or after his termination date as his retirement date.
