    (2) Commences or resumes on the first day of the month in which the 
child later becomes or again becomes a student as described by Sec.  
843.313, if any lump sum paid is returned to the Civil Service 
Retirement Fund; or
    (3) Commences or resumes on the first day of the month in which the 
child later becomes or again becomes incapable of self-support because 
of a mental or physical disability incurred before age 18 (or a later 
recurrence of such disability), if any lump sum is returned to the Fund.
    (b) An annuity under this subpart terminates on the last day of the 
month before the child--
    (1) Becomes 18 years of age unless he or she is a student as 
described in Sec.  843.410 or is incapable of self-support;
    (2) Becomes capable of self-support after becoming 18 years of age 
unless he or she is a student as described in Sec.  843.410;
    (3) Becomes 22 years of age if he or she is a student as described 
in Sec.  843.410 and--
    (i) Capable of self-support; or
    (ii) Incapable of self-support because of a mental or physical 
disability incurred after age 18;

or
    (5) Dies or marries.
    (c) A survivor annuity accrues on a daily basis, one-thirtieth of 
the monthly rate constituting the daily rate. An annuity does not accrue 
for the 31st day of any month, except in the initial month if the 
survivor's (of a deceased employee) annuity commences on the 31st day. 
For accrual purposes, the last day of a 28-day month constitutes 3 days 
and the last day of a 29-day month constitutes 2 days.
