States Code. This subsection shall not bar the right of any claimant to
the greater benefit conferred by either this Act or such subchapter for
any part of the same period of time. Neither this subsection nor any
provision of such subchapter shall be construed to deny the right of
any participant to receive an annuity under this Act and to receive
concurrently any payment under such subchapter by reason of the
death of any other individual.
(e) Notwithstanding any other law, the right of any individual
entitled to an annuity under this Act shall not be affected because
such person has received an award of compensation in a lump sum
under section 8135 of title 5, United States Code, except that where
such annuity is payable on account of the same disability for which
compensation under such section has been paid, so much of such
compensation as has been paid for any period extended beyond the
date such annuity becomes effective, as determined by the Secretary
of Labor, shall be refunded to the Department of Labor, to be paid
into the Federal Employees' Compensation Fund. Before such mdi-
vidual receives such annuity, he or she shall?
(1) refund to the Department of Labor the amount represent-
ing such commuted payments for such extended period, or
(2) authorize the deduction of such amount from the annuity
payable under this Act, which amount shall be transmitted to the
Department of Labor for reimbursement to such Fund.
Deductions from such annuity may be made from accrued and
accruing payments, or may be prorated against and paid from
accruing payments in such manner as the Secretary of Labor shall
determine, whenever the Secretary of Labor finds that the financial
circumstances of the annuitant warrant deferred refunding.
(1) A claim may be allowed under this section only if the application Claim.
is filed with the Secretary of State before the participant is separated
from the Service or within one year thereafter. This time limitation Waiver.
may be waived by the Secretary of State for a participant who at the
date of separation from the Service or within one year thereafter is
mentally incompetent, if the application is filed with the Secretary of
State within one year from the date of restoration of the participant
to competency or the appointment of a fiduciary, whichever is earlier.

this section and section 806(a) and any surviving former spouse shall
be entitled to an annuity under section 814(b) as if the participant
died after being entitled to an annuity under this chapter. If the
participant had less than 3 years creditable civilian service at the
time of death, the survivor annuity shall be computed on the basis of
the average salary for the entire period of such service. ?

credit toward retirement under the System dies before retirement or
other separation from the Service and is survived by a spouse and a
child or children, each surviving child shall be entitled to an annuity
