Sec.  222.4  Homicide of employee.

    No person convicted of the felonious and intentional homicide of an 
employee can be entitled to an annuity or lump-sum payment based on the 
employee's earnings record (service and compensation). Further, the 
convicted person is considered not to exist in deciding the rights of 
other persons to annuity or lump-sum payments. A minor may be denied a 
survivor annuity or lump-sum payment on the earnings record of a parent 
if the minor was convicted of intentionally causing the parent's death 
by an act which would be considered a felony if committed by an adult.
