PART 229_SOCIAL SECURITY OVERALL MINIMUM GUARANTEE--Table of Contents

 

            Subpart F_Computation of the Overall Minimum Rate

 

Sec.  229.56  Reduction for child's social security benefit.



    A child's benefit under the overall minimum, after any adjustment 

for the family maximum, is reduced, but not below zero, by the amount of 

any social security benefit being paid to the child on other than the 

employee's earnings record. If the social security benefit is equal to 

or higher than the child's overall minimum benefit and the family 

maximum applies, the overall minimum rate is recomputed so that the 

child is not included, if it would result in a higher overall minimum 

rate.
