LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 23

HIS SUBSEQUENT RETIREMENT DOES NOT EXCEED THE RATE PERCENT
HE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED HAD HE REMAINED IN SERVICE DURING THE
PERIOD OF HIS PRIOR RETIREMENT.

(10)  (A) ON THE RECEIPT OF PROPER PROOFS OF THE
DEATH OF A MEMBER IN SERVICE, AND IF A BENEFIT IS NOT
PAYABLE UNDER PARAGRAPH (C) OF THIS SUBSECTION, THE MEMBER'S
PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OR THE PERSON THE MEMBER HAS
NOMINATED BY WRITTEN DESIGNATION, EXECUTED AND FILED WITH
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SHALL BE PAID:

(I)   THE MEMBER'S ACCUMULATED
CONTRIBUTIONS; AND

(II)  IF THE MEMBER HAS 1 OR MORE YEARS OF
ELIGIBILITY SERVICE, OR DIES IN THE COURSE OF THE ACTUAL
PERFORMANCE OF DUTY, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE MEMBER'S ANNUAL
EARNABLE COMPENSATION AT THE TIME OF DEATH.

(B)   THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MAY TAKE THE STEPS
NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE DEATH BENEFIT UNDER THIS SUBSECTION
IN THE FORM OF GROUP LIFE INSURANCE, IF, IN THE OPINION OF
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THAT PROVISION WOULD ALLOW A MORE

(11)  IF A MEMBER CEASES TO BE A TEACHER EXCEPT BY
DEATH OR BY RETIREMENT UNDER THIS SUBTITLE, HE SHALL BE PAID
THE AMOUNT OF HIS ACCUMULATED CONTRIBUTIONS.

(12)  (A) INSTEAD OF THE DISABILITY OR SERVICE
ALLOWANCES PAYABLE UNDER THE AFORESAID PROVISIONS, ANY
MEMBER BEFORE THE FIRST RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE PAYMENT

SAME AS THOUGH HIS ELECTION HAD NOT BEEN FILED AND HE HAD
