A. There will be payable to your widow a lump sum equal to 8 times your insurance amount. Then when she is 60, if she has not remarried, she will begin to receive the widow's annuity. In the case where the insurance amount is $95.98, the lump sum would be $767.84. This would be payable immediately; and at 60 the widow would begin to receive $71.99 per month.

47. Q. I am a pilot whose insurance amount at death is $95.98. I leave a widow aged 42, with one child of 12, and another of 9. How much and for how long will the benefits be paid?
A. The amount payable to your family immediately after your death would be $167.97 per month, that is, a widow's pension of $71.99 and two children's annuities of $47.99 each. When the older child is 21 (that is 9 years later), his annuity will cease, and there will then be $119.98 ($71.99 plus $47.99) per month payable for three more years until the younger child is 21. At that time both annuities will cease, the widow then being 54. At 60 the widow, if she is not remarried, will be entitled to receive $71.99 per month for the remainder of her life, or until she remarries.

48. Q. Suppose in Question 47, the widow remarried after five years. What would happen to her annuity?
A. The annuity to the widow would stop but the annuities to the children would go on as long as they were unmarried and under age 21.

49. Q. When is a parent's annuity payable?
A. A parent's benefit is payable (a) when a pilot dies wholly insured;
