Sec. 9-140.
Widow's annuity-Present employees and future entrants-Death in service
before 65.
The widow of an employee whose death occurs in service before age 65
shall be entitled to an annuity of the amount provided on a single life
annuity basis from the total sum accumulated to his credit as of the date
of death in service for age and service annuity and widow's annuity, plus
the credit for prior service annuity and widow's prior service annuity, if
he was a present employee; but no part thereof representing contributions
by the county shall be used to provide an annuity in excess of that which
she would have had if the employee had lived and remained in service at the
rate of his final salary until he became age 65, and the widow's annuity
were fixed on a reversionary annuity basis as provided in this Article. The
annuity shall be computed as of the date of the employee's death.
