in effect3.28.1610 - Surviving child's or children's allowances - How paid.
Except as otherwise provided herein, any survivorship allowance which is payable under the provisions of this Chapter to any surviving child or children shall be paid to such parent or parents of such child or children as have custody of such child or children for the benefit of such child or children; or, if a guardian or guardians have been appointed for such child or children and the Board shall have received notice thereof, to the guardian or guardians of such child or children for the benefit of such child or children. Notwithstanding the above, however, the Board, in its discretion, may at any time or from time to time pay said allowances to any other person or persons, for the benefit of such child or children, or directly to the child or children, if it finds that such will be for the best interests of the children. In addition, the Board may, if it has reason to believe that such allowances are not being used for the benefit of the child or children entitled thereto, suspend such payments, or any of them, until such time as it receives assurance; satisfactory to the Board, that such payments will be used for the benefit of the children entitled thereto. No person shall have any claim against the Board or any member thereof because of or by reason of the Board's changing the person or persons to whom such payments are made. This Section 3.28.1610 shall apply to Tier 2 members provided, however, such amount shall not exceed seventy percent (70%) of the Tier 2 member's final compensation.
