Sec. 48.504  Payment to children.

    (a) Annuities for a child or children will be paid to the child's

custody, and control of the child or children.
    (b) Annuities payable to or on behalf of an eligible child as 
defined in Sec. 48.102(e)(5) accrue as of the first day of the month in 
which--
    (1) The member (upon whose retired pay the annuity is based) dies if 
the eligible child's 18th birthday occurs in the same or a preceding 
month, or
    (2) The 18th birthday of an eligible child occurs if the member 
(upon whose retired pay the annuity is based) died in a preceding month, 
or
    (3) A child first becomes (or again becomes) eligible, if that 
eligible child's 18th birthday and the death of the member (upon whose 
retired pay the annuity is based) both occurred in a preceding month or 
months. An eligible child under this paragraph might become ineligible 
at age 18 and again become eligible by furnishing proof of pursuit of a 
full time course of study or training as enumerated in 
Sec. 48.102(e)(5).
