§ 31869 Survivor Allowance Eligibility

Key Takeaways

•If you join this benefit plan late (more than 30 days after it starts in your county), your parents won’t get survivor money unless you pay extra for at least 10 years.
•You have to pay extra from your paycheck for 10 years to make sure your parents can get the survivor money.
•If you don’t pay the extra for 10 years, your parents won’t get the money even if you’re in the plan.

Example

John starts a new job where the county offers a benefit plan. He waits 6 months to join instead of signing up right away.

Because John joined late, his parents won’t get survivor money unless he pays extra from his paycheck for 10 years. If he doesn’t pay extra for 10 years, his parents won’t get the money.

If a member elected to participate in the benefits provided for by this article more than 30 days after this article becomes operative in the county, a survivor’s allowance shall not be due to any parent of such member unless additional deductions were made pursuant to this article from the salary or wages of such member for not less than 10 years. (Added by Stats. 1961, Ch. 1591.)
