in the care of such Member immediately before the Member’s
date of death, Disability Date, or Retirement Date, and who
received significant support from such Member for the year
preceding the first of the following events: the date of death,
Disability Date, or Retirement Date.
Eligible Dependent Parent means the natural or adoptive mother or
father of a deceased Active Member, Disabled Member, or Retired
Member, over one-half of whose support for the one year period
immediately preceding the date of death, Disability Date, or Retirement
Date, was received from such deceased Active Member, Disabled
Member, or Retired Member. Dependent Parent status shall cease as of
the date the parent becomes self supporting.
For purposes of this Section, "self supporting" means the ability or
capacity to financially maintain oneself.
Eligible Domestic Partner means the individual who was the Domestic
Partner of a deceased Active Member or Disabled Member for the entire
one year period, without interruption, immediately preceding the date of
such Member’s death, and who:
(a) has care of an Eligible Child who is disabled or under the age of 18;
additionally, for a Domestic Partner of a Member who entered the
Plan prior to July 1, 1979, has care of an Eligible Child under the
age of 22 who is attending an educational institution on a full time
basis;
(b) is disabled; or
(c) is or attains age 60.
If a Domestic Partner has care of an Eligible Child who is the natural
child of such Member, the aforementioned requirement that the
Domestic Partner be the Member’s Domestic Partner for the entire one
year period immediately preceding the date of such Member’s death is
waived indefinitely as long as the child is an Eligible Child.
