If you die after retirement, your spouse’s benefit will be paid at the rate of 62.5% (five eighths) of the benefit you were receiving at the time of your death, disregarding any previous commutation reduction. However, for the first seven paydays following your death, your spouse will be paid at the same rate you were receiving at the time of your death, before changing to the spouse’s rate.
