DEATH BENEFITS
If You are Married
As described under “If You Are Married,” beginning on page 38,
your surviving spouse will receive a death benefit equal to what
he or she would have received had you retired at the later of your
age at death or age 55 and selected the 50% spouse annuity.
One-half of your September 30, 2008 pension benefit under the
Drug Plan (reduced by the Drug Plan’s actuarial factors for the
50% spouse annuity) will serve as a minimum death benefit for
your surviving spouse.
If You are Not Married
If you die before retirement and after December 16, 2010, no
death benefits will be paid.
