MATTER OF;

J. Petty, USAFR,


DIGESTO


1.  An Air Force Reser~le officer elected
    Survivor Berefit Plan coverage for his
    children under now provJsions added by
    Pub, Law 95-397 when he was notified of
    his eligibility (except that he had not
    reached age 60) for non-Regular retired
    pay under 10 U.S.C. chapter 67,  Subse-
    quently le became eligible for retirement
    under 10 U.S.C. 5 8911 but was not retired.
    Later he was killed while on active duty
    for training. Although h.4 lost eligi-
    bility for retired pay under chapter 67
    upon becoming eligible for retirement
    under section 8911, his original election
    of coverage for his children continued
    in effect since he had not retired tinder
    section 8911 when he died. Therefore,
    the children are entitled to a Survivor
    Benefit Plan annuity under that election.


         2.  Under provisions added to the Su:cvivor
             Benefit Plan-by Pub. Law 95-397, members
             notified of their eligibility (except for
             not having reached age 60) for non-Regular
             retired pay under 10 u.s.C. chapter 67,
             may elect immediate coverage for dependents.
             If such a member becomes ent.tled to re-
             tired pay undar another law the member
             loses eligibility for chapter 67 retired
             pay, but the Survivor Benefit Plan election
             remains effective until the member actually
             retires. Ie is then covered by other pro-
             visions of the Plan and may make a new
             election.
     This is in responne to the request of the Deputy
Chief, Accounting and ,inance Division, Air Force
Accounting and Finance Center, for an advance decision
concerning the propriety of paying annuity payments under
the Survivor Benefit Plan, 10 U.S.C. .§ 1447-1455, to
the children of Lieutenant Colone' Gene 3. Petty, USAFR,
Deceased, W- find that the an:,',*, payments may be macie
in this case.
