PART 19_BENEFITS FOR SPOUSES AND FORMER SPOUSES OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE FOREIGN 
 
Sec.  19.11-1  Kinds of survivor benefits.

    If a participant or former participant dies in active service or 
after retirement, regular survivor annuities are payable under terms of 
this section to an eligible surviving spouse, former spouse or child. 
Also, if all rights to annuity and survivor annuity terminate prior to 
exhaustion of the participant's lump-sum credit, a lump-sum payment is 
made pursuant to Sec.  19.13. In addition to the above, an additional 
survivor annuity, and a supplemental survivor annuity may be payable to 
an eligible survivor under Sec. Sec.  19.10-5 and 19.10-6, respectively. 
If any participant or former participant makes an election, files a 
spousal agreement or becomes subject to a court order to provide a 
regular survivor annuity for a spouse or former spouse and does not 
subsequently become entitled to leave a survivor annuity under these 
regulations (because of separation from the Service and withdrawal of 
contributions, death after separation but before commencement of a 
deferred annuity, or for any other reason), none will be paid and such 
election, spousal agreement or court order to provide such survivor 
annuity will have no force or effect.
