EXAMPLE
Under the PERS survivor program, if a member passes away before retirement
leaving a widow and four children, the widow would receive a monthly income of $430
until such time as the three oldest children have passed age 18 (so that she now
only has one child under the age of 18) at which time her benefit would be reduced
to $360. The $360 would continue to be paid until the last child passes the age of
18 at which time the payment would cease until the widow reaches the age of 62.
She would then receive $180 a month for the remainder of her lifetime. The widow
ceases to be eligible for her benefit when she remarries although benefits would
continue to any remaining children under the age of 18.
For the purposes of the 1959 Survivor allowance, a person shall be considered
under the age of 18 if he is an unmarried, full-time student between the ages of
18 and 22.
