Section V-905 - Calculation of Death Benefits

A. If a death benefit is payable as a result of the death of an eligible participant prior to retirement, the present value of his benefit shall be calculated as if he had retired on the day before he died, except where otherwise indicated in the statute or herein.

B. The fund's actuary shall be required and authorized to calculate all benefits payable, in accordance with such assumptions as he shall have incorporated into the fund's actuarial valuations and reports; and the trustees' reliance upon his calculations of the amounts of retirement and death benefits payable shall be conclusive proof of the reasonableness of the trustees' decisions in this regard.
