Sec. 9-144.
Widow's annuities - Present employees and future
entrants - Withdrawal and death before age 50.
The widow of an employee with 10 or more years of service who
withdraws before age 50 (age 55 if withdrawal occurs before January
1, 1988) and who dies while out of service before attaining such age,
shall be entitled to an annuity computed on a single life annuity basis
at the date of death from the following sum accumulated to his credit:
(1) If service is 20 or more years, the total credits for age and
service annuity and widow's annuity, and, in addition, if he was a
present employee, the total credits for prior service annuity and
widow's prior service annuity; or
(2) If service is 10 or more but less than 20 years, the total
credits for age and service annuity and widow's annuity from
employee contributions, and,
in addition, if he was a present employee, the total
credits for prior service annuity and 1/10 of the total credits for age
and service annuity and widow's annuity from county contributions for
each year of service after the first 10 years, including, for the widow
of a present employee, 1/10 of the total credits for prior service and
widow's prior service annuity from county contributions for each year of
service after the first 10 years.
No county contributions shall be used for a widow's annuity in excess
of that which she would receive if the employee had lived until he
attained age 50 (age 55 if withdrawal occurs before January 1,
1988) and had not re-entered service, and an annuity were fixed
for her on a reversionary annuity basis as of her age when her husband would
have attained age 50 (age 55 if withdrawal occurs before January 1, 1988).
