contributions shall be paid out of such special fund or by such other
contributor in proportion to that part of the employee’s compensation
derived therefrom. In the case of a State employee whose compensation

ury, the Comptroller shall, at the end of each payroll period, transfer to

aggregate amount of the deductions made for the preceding payroll period
from the salaries of all members paid out of such fund in the State
treasury. The Comptroller shall forward a record of all such transfers to
the Board. In all other cases the employer, or the department, agency or
institution, by which any member’s compensation is paid, shall, at the
end of each payroll period, transmit to the State Treasurer its warrant
for the payment of an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the
deductions made for such payroll period from the salaries of all members
paid by such employer, department, agency or institution, for the preced-
ing payroll period. The funds collected by the Treasurer on account of
such warrants shall be credited to the members’ contribution account.

service prior to disability retirement and the period of disability retire-
ment.

security benefits to which the member may become entitled under the
federal Social Security Act in effect at his retirement date would equal
one thousand dollars or twenty-five per centum of average final com-
pensation whichever is larger, provided further * the annual amount

this section the retirement allowance shall be determined on the assump
tion that the retirement allowance is payable to the member alone and tha:
no optional retirement allowance is elected.

(f) Reduction of allowance by amount of payments under Work
men’s Compensation Act.—Any allowance payable to a member under thi:
section shall be reduced by the amount of any payments * under th
Virginia Workmen’s Compensation Act and the excess of the allowance
if any, shall be paid to such member. When the time for * payments o:
the compensation * under such act has elapsed, the member shall there
after receive the full amount of such allowance payable monthly durins
his lifetime and continued disability. Should the member accept reimburse.
ment tn lieu of compensation under the Virginia Workmen’s Compensa
tion Act, due to legal proceedings or otherwise resulting in settlemen
from the person or persons causing the member’s disability, the com
pensation that would have been payable, except for such settlement, a:

ment, * and tf no benefits are payable under subsection (b) of this section
the amount of his accumulated contributions, reduced by the amount of an}

and after either attaining his sixtieth birthday or completing at leas
thirty years of creditable service and tf no benefits are payable under sub.
section (c) of this section there shall be paid a retirement allowance t
* the person nominated as provided in subsection (a) of this section ¢
such person ts the wife, husband, mother or father of the member; suck
retirement allowance shall be continued during the lifetime of * suci
person * and shall be, (1) in the case of a member who dies prior to attain
ing his sixty-fifth birthday, an allowance equal to one-half of the deceasec
retirement allowance that would have been payable to the member hac
the member retired under the provisions of subsection (b) of § 51-111.5:
on the date of his death after having elected to have his allowance payable
under the joint and last survivor option described in subsection (a) (2)
of § 51-111.60 so that one-half thereof would be continued after his deatt
to such * person, assuming, in the case of a member who had not attainec
his sixtieth birthday at his date of death, that the requirement of having
attained his sixtieth birthday was not included in the provisions of sub
section (b) of § 51-111.58, and that the retirement allowance payable i
such event would be reduced on an actuarial equivalent basis for the perioc
by which the date of death preceded the date the member would havi
attained his sixtieth birthday; or, (2) in the case of a member who die:
after attaining his sixty-fifth birthday, an allowance equal to the decreasec
retirement allowance that would have been payable to the member had the
member retired under the provisions of subsection (a) of § 51-111.53 or
of § 51-111.60 so that the same amount would be continued after his death
to such * person. Provided that * in the determination of the allowance
that would have been payable to the member had the member retired on
the date of his death, the provisions of subsections * (b), (c) and (d) of
§ 51-111.55 shall not apply ; and provided further that * if * such * person *
so elects in writing under seal and duly acknowledged, the amount of the

benefits under this subsection. ;

(c) Should a member die in service at any time before retirement
from a cause compensable under the Virginia Workmen’s Compensation
Act, an annual retirement allowance shall be paid to the widow or widower,
if any, of such member. In the event no compensation is finally awarded
under the Virginia Workmen’s Compensation Act with respect to the
death of a member, due to legal proceedings or otherwise resulting in settle-
ment from the person or persons causing such death, the Virginia Indus-
trial Commission, upon request of the Board, shall for the purpose of this
section determine whether such member’s death was from a cause com-
pensable under the Virginia Workmen’s Compensation Act. If such mem-
ber leaves no widow or widower, or the widow or widower dies or remarrtes,
then the child or children under the age of eighteen years, tf any, of the
deceased member, shall be paid an allowance until such child or children
die or attain the age of eighteen years, whichever shall first occur. If more
than one child survives the deceased member, the allowance shall be
divided among them in such manner as the Board may determine. If the
deceased member leaves neither widow, widower nor child or children
under the age of eighteen years, then such allowance shall be paid to the
member's parent or parents wholly dependent upon him for support,
divided in such manner as the Board may determine, during the life or
lives of such parent or parents. oo ae

The retirement allowance, payable hereunder to a qualifying survivor
or survivors, shall be the annual. amount, payable monthly, which when
added to the social security benefit payable as result of coverage of the
member under the federal Social Security Act and the compensation pay-
able under the Virginia Workmen’s Compensation Act for the death of the
member, shall be equal to one-half of the sum of the member’s average
final compensation and twelve hundred dollars. Should no compensation
be payable under the Virginia Worlmen’s Compensation Act due to re-
imbursement in lieu of benefits thereunder, the compensation that would
otherwise have been awarded, as determined by the Virginia Industrial
Commission upon request of. the Board shall, for the purposes of this
subsection, be assumed to have been awarded. _

Any. beneficiary entitled to the entire amount of a retirement allow-
ance under the provisions of this subsection as a result of the death of a
member shall be entitled to waive his rights to such allowance by written
notification to the Board within ninety days after the death of such mem-
ber in order to make available a retirement allowance under the provisions
of subsection (b) of this section. oo

~§ 51-111.60. (a) Each member shall have the right at any time,
not subsequent to the later of the effective date of the member’s retirement
or the date of written notification to the Board of the retirement of the
member, to elect to have his retirement allowance payable under * one of
the options set forth in this section in lieu of the retirement allowance
otherwise payable to him upon retirement under any of the provisions of
this chapter. The amount of any such optional retirement allowance shall
be the actuarial equivalent of the amount of such retirement allowance
otherwise payable to him. The member shall make such an election by
written request to the Board and such an election shall be subject to th
approval of the Board.

retirement allowance to be continued after the member’s death shall b
lamited to one-half of the decreased retirement allowance received by th
member during his lifetime. In case of such an election death benefits tha
might otherwise be provided under § 51-111.59 shall not be payable upo!

his normal] retirement date, he may elect to receive an increased retiremen
allowance up to his normal retirement date and a decreased retiremen
allowance thereafter, thereby providing a more nearly level retiremen(
allowance when such decreased retirement allowance is added to his antici
pated primary benefits under the federal Social Security Act. The electior
of this option shall automatically revoke any previous election under th
joint and last survivor option of paragraph (a) (2) hereof.

(4) Other options.—Some other benefits * may be paid either to th
member or to such person or persons as he shall select.

(b) The election by a member of any one of the options stated in thi:

allowance is prior to his normal retirement date engaged in, or is able t
engage in, gainful occupation or work paying more than the difference be-
tween his disability retirement allowance and his average final compensa-
tion, the Board may reduce such retirement allowance to an amount which.
together with the amount earnable by * the beneficiary equals the amount
of his average final compensation * or, at the option of the Board, equal:
the amount of his average final compensation adjusted to allow for in.
creases tn the cost of living since the date of retirement. In determining
the net amount considered to be earnable by the beneficiary, the Boara
may take into account the amount of any medical expenses directly in-
curred by the beneficiary to reduce or eliminate the cause of disability.
