    (a) A current or former spouse annuity under this subpart commences 
on the day after the death of the person on whose service the annuity is 
based.

on the last day of the month before the current or former spouse 
remarries before age 55 or dies.
    (c) A current spouse annuity under this subpart terminated for 
reasons other than death may be restored under Sec. 843.305.
    (d) A survivor annuity accrues on a daily basis, one-thirtieth of 
the monthly rate constituting the daily rate. An annuity does not accrue 
for the 31st day of any month, except in the initial month if the

For accrual purposes, the last day of a 28-day month constitutes 3 days 
and the last day of a 29-day month constitutes 2 days.
