Highlights

A decision was requested concerning payment of survivors benefits to the children of a deceased member instead of to his second wife who was named as beneficiary. Upon the member's death, his widow (second wife) became an eligible beneficiary and is entitled to survivors benefits retroactive to the member's death. Return of the erroneous payments to the children who are in the custody of the member's first wife can be waived.
