Sec. 4.1010.2. Payments Upon Death of Public Safety Officer Member, Public Safety Officer Former Member, or Public Safety Officer Retired Member.
Retired Member’s allowance shall be used in all cases. The optional amounts, calculated in accordance with the foregoing subsection, shall provide a range of optional values such that the amount to be paid to the Eligible Survivor shall range from 75% to 100% of the allowance payable to the Member.

A Public Safety Officer Retired Member, previously retired on a disability allowance pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.1008.2 , shall have the right to cancel any option previously elected by them pursuant to the provisions of this subsection in the event their allowance is subsequently adjusted as provided for in Section 4.1008.2 . (d) Additional Allowance Amounts for Additional Beneficiaries. Whenever any Public Safety Officer Member or Public Safety Officer Retired Member shall die and leave surviving them, in addition to an Eligible Survivor, a Minor Child or Children or a Dependent Child or Children of the deceased Member and the Eligible Survivor, then such Eligible Survivor shall be paid an additional monthly allowance in an amount which shall be equal to 25% of the allowance they as an Eligible Survivor would be entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (b) of this section while there is one Minor Child or Dependent Child, 40% while there are two Minor Children or Dependent Children or a combination, and 50% while there are three or more Minor Children or Dependent Children or a combination, and such additional monthly allowance shall be the exclusive property of such Eligible Survivor and not the property of any such Minor Child or Dependent Child.
