|
5 | | (a) A surviving spouse shall be entitled to 66 2/3% of the |
6 | | amount of
retirement annuity to which the participant or |
7 | | annuitant was entitled on
the date of death, without regard to |
8 | | whether the participant had attained
age 55 prior to his or her |

salary. If a |
10 | | surviving spouse, regardless of age, has in his or her care
at |
11 | | the date of death any eligible child or children of the |
12 | | participant, the
survivor's annuity shall be the greater of the |
13 | | following: (1) 66 2/3% of
the amount of retirement annuity to |
14 | | which the participant or annuitant was
entitled on the date of |
15 | | death, or (2) 30% of the participant's salary
increased by 10% |
16 | | of salary on account of each such child, subject to a
total |
17 | | payment for the surviving spouse and children of 50% of salary. |

eligible children survive but there is no surviving spouse, |
19 | | or if the
surviving spouse dies or becomes disqualified by
|
20 | | remarriage while eligible children survive, each
eligible |
21 | | child shall be entitled to an annuity of 20% of salary, subject
|
22 | | to a maximum total payment for all such children of 50% of |
23 | | salary.
|
24 | | However, the survivor's annuity payable under this Section |
25 | | shall not be
less than 100% of the amount of retirement annuity |

|
4 | | The salary to be used for determining these benefits shall |
5 | | be the
salary used for determining the amount of retirement |
6 | | annuity as provided
in Section 2-119.01.
|
7 | | (b) Upon the death of a participant after the termination |
8 | | of service or
upon death of an annuitant, the maximum total |
9 | | payment to a surviving spouse
and eligible children, or to |
10 | | eligible children alone if there is no surviving
spouse, shall |
11 | | be 75% of the retirement annuity to which the participant
or |
12 | | annuitant was entitled, unless there is a dependent disabled |
13 | | child
among the survivors.
|
14 | | (c) When a child ceases to be an eligible child, the |
15 | | annuity to that
child, or to the surviving spouse on account of |
16 | | that child, shall thereupon
cease, and the annuity payable to |
17 | | the surviving spouse or other eligible
children shall be |
18 | | recalculated if necessary.
|
19 | | Upon the ineligibility of the last eligible child, the |
20 | | annuity shall
immediately revert to the amount payable upon |
21 | | death of a participant or
annuitant who leaves no eligible |
22 | | children. If the surviving spouse is then
under age 50, the |
23 | | annuity as revised shall be deferred until the attainment
of |
24 | | age 50.
|
25 | | (d) Beginning January 1, 1990, every survivor's annuity |
26 | | shall be increased
