Official statutory text

(b) If any member of tier II other than a state police officer sustains an injury while acting within the scope of his employment, which injury is not the result of his own wilful or wanton act, and dies as a result of such injury, and a spouse and a dependent child or children under eighteen years of age survive him, the sum of one hundred thousand dollars shall be paid in equal monthly installments over a period of not less than ten years to such employee's spouse, provided any such payments shall terminate on the death or remarriage of such spouse within said ten-year period, and fifty dollars a month shall be paid for each dependent child under eighteen years of age, payable to such spouse or the guardian of such child or children until such child or children reach eighteen years of age. If such employee leaves a spouse and no child or children under eighteen years of age, the sum of fifty thousand dollars shall be paid in equal monthly installments over a period of not less than ten years, to such spouse, provided any such payments shall terminate on the death or remarriage of such spouse within such ten-year period. If such employee leaves no spouse and no child or children under eighteen years of age but leaves a parent or parents dependent upon him, the sum of fifty thousand dollars shall be paid to such employee's parent or parents in equal monthly installments over a period of not less than ten years, provided, on the death of one such parent, the surviving parent shall continue to receive the entire monthly payments under the provisions of this section and provided such payments shall cease on the death of both such parents during such ten-year period.
