Sec. 5-140.
Widow's annuity - All employees - Withdrawal and death
before age 50.
The widow of an employee who (1) has served 10 or more years and (2)
withdraws before age 50 and (3) dies out of service before age 50 shall
receive annuity, from the date of his death, of the amount provided from
the following sums accumulated to his credit on the date of his death:
1. If service is 20 or more years, the entire sum credited for age
and service annuity, widow's annuity, and, if a present employee, prior
service annuity and widow's prior service annuity; or
2. If service is 10 or more but less than 20 years, the sum
accumulated to his credit for age and service annuity, widow's annuity,
and, if a present employee, prior service annuity from employee
contributions, plus 1/10 of the
sum credited for age and service
annuity, widow's annuity, and, for a present employee, prior service
annuity and widow's prior service annuity, from contributions by the
city, for each year of service after the first 10 years.
The annuity shall be computed as of the widow's age at the date of
the employee's death.
No part of contributions by the city shall be used to provide annuity
for a widow in excess of that which she would have had a right to
receive if the employee had lived until age 50 and had not re-entered
service and the annuity were then fixed for the widow, as of her age on
the date when her husband would have attained age 50.
