Refund - Widows and children.
If the amount accumulated in the account of a deceased unmarried
fireman from salary deductions
for annuity purposes after the effective
date, including interest, has not been paid to him or his parent or
parents, and in the case of a deceased married fireman to him and his
widow, in form of annuity or benefit before the death of the last
survivor of such persons, the remaining amount if any, without interest,
shall be paid in the following order of precedence: (a) to the
administrator or executor of the fireman's estate; (b) for burial
expenses of the fireman; and (c) to his heirs according to the law
pertaining to administration of estates; provided, if any of his
children less than age 18 survive, such amount as is necessary to pay
children's annuities shall not be refunded, but shall be transferred to
the Child's Annuity Reserve, and used for the payment of annuities to
children.
