§ 43:10-18.

The following provisions shall apply to all members of the retirement system: (a) (Deleted by amendment; P.L.1978, c. 127.) (b) Where a husband and wife are each receiving a pension as a retired employee from

any retirement system supported wholly or in part by the county, upon the death of

either the husband or the wife, if the survivor is entitled to receive another pension

on account of such death, said survivor shall elect to accept one or the other of

the two pensions but in no case shall a beneficiary receive more than one pension

at the same time. (c) Where any employee or other beneficiary is entitled to receive two pensions under

the provisions of this act, such employees or other beneficiary shall elect to receive

one or the other of the two pensions and in no case shall receive more than one pension. (d) The rights of any employee or beneficiary to receive any payments under the Workmen's

Compensation Act of New Jersey 1 shall not be affected or impaired by any of the provisions of this act. (e) Where the service of an employee is terminated by reason of imposition of a sentence

upon him of actual commitment to a penal institution on account of conviction of an

indictable offense involving moral turpitude, no pension under this act shall be paid

to any such employee; provided, however, that no member of this retirement system

who shall have served honorably as a county employee for a period of 20 years and

shall have attained the age of 55 years shall be deprived of his pension privileges

because of any violation of the rules and regulations established for the government

of such county employment, but he may be fined, reprimanded or discharged. (f) Where any pension or other benefit shall be payable from the pension fund herein

provided to any retired employee or other beneficiary who is or shall be confined

in a penal institution as the result of a conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude,

the pension commission may pay such pension or any part of it or other benefit to

the wife, husband, minor children, mother or father of the confined person if it determines

the same is necessary for their maintenance during such confinement. (g) All payments of pensions shall be made semimonthly. Payments of pensions, refunds or other benefits under this act shall be made without

interest. (h) Upon and after the adoption of this act the benefits hereunder shall not extend

to the widow or widower of any county employee who shall remarry, or shall have married

such employee after such employee has retired or attained the age of 50 years, nor

to any children of such marriage, but benefits shall extend to the widow or widower

of a county employee who marries or shall have married the employee after the employee

has attained the age of 50 years, provided the employee remains in the employment

of the county and an active member of the fund for at least 5 years after such marriage. (i) Persons who may become entitled to pensions under this act shall be paid on the

first and fifteenth day of each month, or at the same time as all persons permanently

employed by the county. 1
