                       TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS
 
                     CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF STATE
 
PART 19--BENEFITS FOR SPOUSES AND FORMER SPOUSES OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE FOREIGN SERVICE RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY SYSTEM--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 19.11-7  Annuity payable to surviving child or children.

    (a) If a participant who has at least 18 months of civilian service 
credit under the System dies in service, or if an annuitant who was a 
former participant dies, annuities are payable to a surviving child or 
children, as defined in Sec. 19.2(e) as follows:
    (1) When survived by spouse and child or children. If a principal is 
survived by a wife or husband and by a child or children, in addition to 
any other annuity, there shall be paid to or on behalf of each child an 
annuity equal to the smallest of:
    (i) $900
    (ii) $2,700 divided by the number of children--adjusted under 
paragraph (b).
    (2) When survived by a child or children but no spouse. If the 
principal is not survived by a wife or husband, but by a child or 
children, each surviving child shall be paid an annuity equal to the 
smallest of:
    (i) $1,080
    (ii) $3,240 divided by the number of children--adjusted under 
paragraph (b) of this section.
    (b) Adjusted rates. In order to reflect cost-of-living increases, 
the amounts referred to in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) are increased from 
the commencing date of the annuity to each child by the cumulative 
percentage of all cost-of-living increases that have occurred under 5 
U.S.C. 8340 since October 31, 1969.
    (c) Recomputation of annuity for child or children. If a surviving 
wife or husband dies or the annuity of a child is terminated, the 
annuities of any remaining children shall be recomputed and paid as 
though such spouse or child had not survived the participant. If the 
annuity to a surviving child who has not been receiving an annuity is 
initiated or resumed, the annuities of any other children shall be 
recomputed and paid from that date as though the annuities to all 
currently eligible children in the family were then being initiated.
