Where:
payment of a pension to a person is postponed under subsection 110TA(2); and
the person dies before the pension becomes payable; and
the person is survived by a spouse;
then, whether or not the person made an election under subsection 64(2), the spouse may make, not later than 3 months after the death of the person, by notice in writing to CSC, an election to commute that pension into a lump sum benefit payable to him or her.
If a spouse makes an election under subsection (1) to commute a pension, a lump sum benefit equal to the amount of the accumulated contributions of the deceased person is payable to the spouse and spouse’s additional pension is not payable under paragraph 93(1)(b) to the spouse.
