               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.
