§ 24108 Child'S Portion Reduction

Key Takeaways

  • •If a retired person gets extra money for a dependent child, that extra money stops when the child is no longer dependent.
  • •The retirement pay will go down, but it won’t be lower than it would have been if there was never a child involved.
  • •The reduction considers any raises the retirement pay got over time.

Example

A retired teacher gets extra money every month because they have a young child. When the child turns 18 and is no longer dependent, the extra money stops.

The teacher’s retirement pay will go down, but it won’t drop below what it would have been if they never had a child. Any raises they got over the years are considered when lowering the pay.
