# California SB 850 (20212022) — Special death benefits: additional percentages: children of members.
|
||
|
||
Existing law, the Public Employees' Retirement Law, requires the payment of death benefits to beneficiaries of members and, under certain conditions, the payment of special death benefits. These special death benefits are payable to the surviving spouse and children of certain member categories, among them peace officer and safety member categories, whose deaths are determined to be industrial. Existing law requires an additional percentage of the special death benefit to be paid to the spouses of members who are killed in the performance of their duties, or who die as a result of an accident or an injury caused by external violence or physical force during the performance of their duties, for each of the members' children, as specified, for the lifetime of the surviving spouse.
