105. What kind of death benefits
are payable when a participant
dies in Service?
There are two kinds:
1. A survivor annuity benefit which
begins on the date following death
of the participant, and is payable in
monthly installments.
2. A lump-sum benefit which is paid
only once.
106. To whom is a survivor an-
nuity payable?
Under certain conditions a survivor
annuity may be payable to the widow
(or widower) and dependent children
of the deceased participant or deceased
annuitant. It may also be payable to
a person who was named by a par-
ticipant at the time of retirement as
a "designated beneficiary."
107. What conditions must the
deceased participant have met
to permit payment of a sur-
vivor annuity?
He (or she) must have completed at
least 5 years of civilian service and
must have been a participant in the
System at the time of death.
108. What conditions must the
widow of a participant who
dies in Service meet to be
eligible for a survivor annuity?
She must have been married to such
participant for at least 2 years im-
mediately preceding his death or, if
married less than 2 years, be the
mother of his child born of the
marriage.
109. What conditions must a de-
pendent widower of a par-
ticipant who dies in Service
meet to be eligible for a
survivor annuity?
He must have been married to such
participant for at least 2 years im-
mediately preceding her death or be
the father of her child born of the
marriage. In addition, he must be
incapable of self-support by reason of
mental or physical disability and must
have received more than one-half of his
support from the deceased participant..
110. How is the survivor annuity
computed upon the death in
Service of a participant?
If the participant at time of his or her
death had less than 20 years of credit-
able service, the participant's annuity is
computed the same as in disability retire-
ment cases. (See question 95.) If the
participant had 20 or more years of
service, the annuity is computed as in
voluntary retirement cases. (See ques-
tion 93.) In either case the survivor
annuity is one-half of the participant's
annuity, except that a widow's annuity
shall not be less than $2400.
