Sec. 12-135.1.
Minimum annuity to surviving spouse.
Upon death of an
employee or annuitant occurring on or after January 1, 1976, who has
completed at least 20 years of service and has established accumulations
for such annuity by employee contributions as provided in Section 12-151
hereof, plus the prescribed concurrent contributions by the employer, the
annuity to the surviving spouse shall in no event be less than one-half of
the retirement annuity which had accrued to an employee if death occurs
while in service, or one-half of the amount of retirement annuity of the
retired employee on the date of death; provided that if the age of the
surviving spouse is less than 60 years at the date of death of the employee
or annuitant, the annuity to the spouse shall be reduced 1/2 of 1% for each
month that such age is less than 60 years.
If the minimum annuity survivor's benefit provided in this Section
exceeds the maximum survivor's benefit payable under Section 12-125 or
12-135, such minimum benefit shall be payable.
