2021 Iowa Code|Title XV - JUDICIAL BRANCH AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURES|Chapter 602 - JUDICIAL BRANCH|Section 602.9115 - Annuity for survivor of annuitant.

602.9115 Annuity for survivor of annuitant.   1. For the purposes of this article, “survivor” means the surviving spouse of a person who was a judge, if married to the judge for at least one year preceding the judge’s death.   2. The survivor of a judge who was qualified for retirement compensation under the system at the time of the judge’s death, is entitled to receive an annuity of one-half of the amount of the annuity the judge was receiving or would have been entitled to receive at the time of the judge’s death, or if the judge died before age sixty-five, then one-half of the amount the judge would have been entitled to receive at age sixty-five based on the judge’s years of service for which contributions were made to the system. The annuity shall begin on the judge’s death or upon the survivor’s reaching age sixty, whichever is later. However, a survivor less than sixty years old may elect to receive a decreased retirement annuity to begin on the judge’s death by filing a written election with the state court administrator. The election is subject to the approval of the state court administrator. The amount of the decreased retirement annuity shall be the actuarial equivalent of the amount of the annuity otherwise payable to the survivor under this section.   3. If the judge dies leaving a survivor but without receiving in annuities an amount equal to the judge’s credit, the balance shall be credited to the account of the judge’s survivor, and if the survivor dies without receiving in annuities an amount equal to the balance, the amount remaining shall be paid to the survivor’s legal representatives within one year of the survivor’s death.

In lieu of the annuities and refunds provided for judges and judges’ survivors under sections 602.9107, 602.9108, 602.9115, 602.9204, 602.9208, and 602.9209, judges may elect to receive an optional retirement annuity during the judge’s lifetime and have the optional retirement annuity, or a designated fraction of the optional retirement annuity, continued and paid to the judge’s survivor after the judge’s death and during the lifetime of the survivor.   2. The judge shall make the election request in writing to the state court administrator prior to retirement. The election is subject to the approval of the state court administrator. The judge may revoke the election prior to retirement by written request to the state court administrator, but cannot revoke the election after retirement.   3. The optional retirement annuity shall be the actuarial equivalent of the amounts of the annuities payable to judges and survivors under sections 602.9107, 602.9115, 602.9204, 602.9208, and 602.9209. The actuarial equivalent shall be based on the mortality and interest assumptions set out in section 602.9107, subsection 3.   4. a. If the judge dies without a survivor, prior to retirement or prior to receipt in annuities of an amount equal to the total amount remaining to the judge’s credit at the time of separation from service, the election is null and void and the refunding provisions of section 602.9108 apply.   b. If the judge dies with a survivor prior to retirement, the election remains valid and the survivor is entitled to receive the annuity beginning at the death of the judge.   c. If the judge dies with a survivor and the survivor subsequently dies prior to receipt in annuities by both the judge and the survivor of an amount equal to the total amount remaining to the judge’s credit at the time of separation from service, the election remains valid and the refunding provision of section 602.9115 applies.  86 Acts, ch 1243, §40; 92 Acts, ch 1236, §402, 403; 2006 Acts, ch 1091, §20; 2015 Acts, ch 29, §105
