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.
