               Subpart C_Annuities Due but Unpaid at Death
 
Sec. 234.34  When an entitled relative of the employee dies before 
receiving payment of a due but unpaid annuity.

    If a person, who is entitled to unpaid annuities based upon his or 
her relationship to the employee, dies before negotiating the check in 
payment of the unpaid annuities, the amount to which he or she was 
entitled becomes payable to other relatives of the employee in the same 
degree of relationship. If no relatives in that degree of relationship 
survive, the amount becomes payable to relatives in the next degree of 
relationship.
