Sec. 19-110.
Annuity payments.
Upon the death of any contributor or any beneficiary who before becoming
a beneficiary contributed to said fund for at least 2 years the said board
of trustees shall pay, as hereinafter provided, an annuity not to exceed
$75.00 per month to the widow as long as she remains unmarried: Provided if
at the time of his death such contributor shall have been in the service of
the house of correction for a period of 15 or more years, the board of
trustees shall pay as hereinafter provided an annuity of $125.00 a month to
such widow as long as she remains unmarried; provided she was the wife of
such contributor or beneficiary during the period of time he was an
employee of the house of correction and a contributor to this fund and had
been his wife 2 years before his death, and if there is no widow eligible
to receive such benefits, said board of trustees shall pay such annuity to
the child or children of such deceased contributor or beneficiary, until
such time as the youngest child shall reach the age 18 years. If there be
no widow or child or children eligible, and there is a dependent parent or
parents of the deceased contributor or beneficiary, such dependent parent
or parents may be paid the sum of $25.00 per month upon their furnishing
proof satisfactory to the board of trustees of their dependency upon the
deceased contributor;
Provided, further, that upon the death of any contributor or beneficiary
no annuity shall be paid to the widow, child or children or dependent
parent or parents unless such contributor or beneficiary shall have been in
the service of the house of correction for a period of at least 2 years,
and shall have contributed to said fund for the same period: 50% of the
maximum annuity shall be paid as hereinabove provided if the death of such
contributor or beneficiary occurs before the deceased contributor or
beneficiary shall have served 10 years as an employee of the house of
correction; and the maximum annuity shall be paid, as hereinabove provided,
if the death of such contributor or beneficiary occurs within or after the
11th year next after such contributor or beneficiary became an employee.
