Payment of Death Benefits. In the event an employee of the City of New Castle dies having accrued benefits (vacation pay and/or PDO days), his/her estate shall be entitled to the same benefits as the descendent had he/she survived and terminated employment. The benefits shall be paid as follows:
Payment of Death Benefits. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Member understands that, in the event of his or her death, the balance in his or her Accounts established hereunder will be paid as soon as administratively practicable to the Member’s Beneficiary on or after the Valuation Date coincident with or next following the Member’s date of death.
Payment of Death Benefits. We will pay a death benefit before the annuity date if the owner or a joint owner dies. If the owner is a non-natural person, a death benefit will be paid upon the death of an annuitant before the annuity date. When we pay the death benefit we will then have no further obligation under this contract. When you die, we will pay the death benefit in a lump sum. This sum may be deferred for up to five years from the date of your death. Instead of a lump sum payment the beneficiary may elect to have the death benefit distributed as stated in Option 1 for a period not to exceed the beneficiary's life expectancy; or Options 2, or 3 based upon the life expectancy of the beneficiary as prescribed by federal regulations. The beneficiary must make this choice within sixty days of the time we receive due proof of death. If the beneficiary is not a natural person, the beneficiary must elect that the entire death benefit be distributed within five years of your death. Distribution of the death benefit must start within one year after your death. It may start later if prescribed by federal regulations. Spousal Continuation If this contract was issued as a nonqualified plan or an Individual Retirement Annuity ("IRA") and your spouse is the primary beneficiary when you die, the surviving spouse may elect to be the successor owner of this contract. This is known as a spousal continuation. In such case, no death benefit will be payable upon your death. Upon your death, your surviving spouse may continue this contract thereby waiving claim to the death benefit otherwise payable. Electing to continue this contract under the spousal continuation provision of this contract will affect how the charges and benefits under this contract and applicable endorsements and riders are calculated or determined. If a spousal continuation is elected, the contract value will be adjusted to equal the amount otherwise payable as a death benefit under this contract subject to the following:

If, upon the death of a Member prior to the commencement of benefits hereunder, he or she has been credited with five (5) or more years of Vesting Service, the Member’s Beneficiary (or contingent Beneficiary, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive the Actuarial Equivalent Value of the deceased Member’s Retirement Account in accordance with Section 6.3, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “qualified domestic relations order,” as such term is defined in Code Section 414(p).

Payment of Death Benefits. Subject to any other applicable provisions of this Article, the Beneficiary or surviving spouse of a Participant may elect to receive any death benefits payable hereunder in any Optional Form of Payment available under Section 6.03 except a Joint and Survivor Annuity. The election shall be in writing and shall be filed with the Plan Administrator at least thirty (30) days prior to the Annuity Starting Date. Nevertheless, the minimum thirty (30) day waiting period after the election until the Annuity Starting Date may be disregarded if the Plan Administrator informs the Beneficiary or surviving spouse of his right to the full minimum thirty (30) day waiting period, and the Beneficiary or surviving spouse elects in writing to waive the minimum thirty (30) day waiting period. The amount payable in the Optional Form of Payment shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefit otherwise payable to the Beneficiary or spouse on the Annuity Starting Date; however, if the Participant elected the Modified Cash Refund Annuity under Section 6.03(e), the amount payable shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant’s benefit as of the Participant’s Annuity Starting Date reduced by the total payments actually made to the Participant prior to his death. Payment of death benefits shall also be subject to the provisions of Section 6.04 concerning payment of small amounts. A Beneficiary or surviving spouse may elect to receive his benefits as a single lump sum payment that is the Actuarial Equivalent of the benefit otherwise payable.

The Committee shall charge each payment to the Participant's or Former Participant's Individual Account. Payments shall continue until the death of the last survivor of the Beneficiaries or until the Individual Account is paid in full, whichever event shall occur first.
