Adjusting spouse's pension when a child ceases to be eligible
9.5.1 The pension payable to a spouse who has an eligible child or children ordinarily living with him/her is adjusted when such a child ceases to be an eligible child. The adjustment is calculated by multiplying the pension payable immediately before the child ceased to be an eligible child by the relevant fraction in the following Table according to the remaining number of eligible children ordinarily living with the spouse.

Remaining Number of Eligible Children Ordinarily Living with Spouse  Fraction
None                                                                 67/78

Adjusting children's pension where a child ceases to be eligible
9.5.2 The pension payable to, or for the benefit of, eligible children who are ordinarily living together, but not with a spouse, is adjusted when a child ceases to be an eligible child. The adjustment is calculated by multiplying the pension payable immediately before the child ceased to be an eligible child by the relevant fraction in the following Table according to the remaining number of eligible children ordinarily living together.

Table — Adjustment of Children's Pension

Remaining Number of Eligible Children Ordinarily Living Together  Fraction
One                                                               45/80
Two                                                               80/90
Three                                                             90/100
Four or more                                                      100/100

Adjusting partially dependent children's pension
9.5.3 The pension payable to, or for the benefit of, partially dependent children is reduced when any such child ceases to be a partially dependent child by:
         (a)              the amount that was payable in respect of the child who ceases to be a partially dependent child, where the pension was apportioned between the partially dependent children; or
         (b)              an amount determined by CSC, where the pension was not apportioned between the partially dependent children.

Adjusting pensions where additional dependants commence to be eligible
9.5.4 CSC may adjust the amount of a reversionary pension determined under Division 3 of this Part if:
         (a)              an additional spouse is recognised; or
         (b)              a child becomes, or again becomes, an eligible child or partially dependent child of the deceased member, deceased preserved benefit member or deceased pensioner.
See Rule 9.3.10 for calculation of children's pensions following the death of a spouse in receipt of a pension.

Final benefits when no remaining eligible beneficiaries
9.5.5 When no further benefits are payable in respect of a deceased member, deceased preserved benefit member or deceased pensioner, a lump sum is payable of the amount, if any, by which the sum of the:
         (a)              accumulated member contributions; and
         (b)              accumulated productivity contributions; and
         (c)              any superannuation guarantee additional amount
