Child’s pension (Medas members who have taken their retirement benefits)

The Plan will will pay a pension equal to one third of your pension. The amount of pension won’t be reduced if you chose to convert some of your pension into a cash sum when you retired. If you leave more than one eligible child, the pension will be shared between them.

The Plan defines eligible children as follows:

• Your legitimate and illegitimate children
• A child conceived but not yet born
• Children adopted by you
• Any other children who, in the Trustee’s opinion, were dependent on you at the date of your death

A pension paid to a child will be payable until age 18 or age 23 if they remain in full time education, or training approved by the Trustee. The Plan will also pay a pension to any eligible child who is financially dependent because of a disability.
