PART 225_PRIMARY INSURANCE AMOUNT DETERMINATIONS--Table of Contents

 

 Subpart C_PIA's Used in Computing Survivor Annuities and the Amount of 

                      the Residual Lump-Sum Payable

 

Sec.  225.20  General.





    The Survivor Tier I PIA and the Employee RIB PIA are used in 

computing the tier I component of a survivor annuity. The Combined 

Earnings PIA, Social Security Earnings PIA and Railroad Earnings PIA may 

be used in computing a vested dual benefit offset in the survivor tier 

II component when the survivor tier II is based on a percentage of the 

employee annuity tier II. In addition, these three PIA's are identical 

to those dual benefit PIA's used in computing an employee retirement 

annuity, as described in subpart B of this part, when the employee died 

after being entitled to an annuity. Survivor annuity computations are 

discussed in part 228 of this chapter. The Residual Lump-Sum PIA (RLS 

PIA) is used in computing the amount of the residual lump-sum payable 

when retirement annuity payments were made, as explained in part 234 of 

this chapter.
