Full text
(a) Except as provided by Subsection (c), if a person dies after retirement, a lump-sum death benefit is payable in an amount, if any, by which the retiree's contributions to the retirement system on the date of retirement exceed the amount of annuity payments made before the retiree's death.
(b) The benefit provided by this section is payable to the retiree's designated beneficiary. If a retiree dies without having designated a beneficiary, the benefit is payable to the person entitled to distribution of the decedent's estate if that person or the personal representative of the decedent's estate claims the benefit before the second anniversary of the decedent's death.
(c) A death benefit may not be paid under this section if an optional retirement annuity has been selected as provided by Section 839.103 or 839.203(c).
