The only dependent other than a spouse whom the administrator will approve as a contingent beneficiary for a joint and survivor benefit under AS 14.25.167 is a disabled child of the employee who is principally dependent upon the employee for support and who is totally and presumably permanently disabled. An employee who wishes to name a disabled child as the employee's beneficiary under AS 14.25.167 must file an application on a form provided by the administrator requesting the administrator's approval of the appointment of beneficiary.
2 AAC 36.253
Effective 7/20/2006, Register 179, the Department of Administration readopted 2 AAC 36.253, without change, to affirm the validity of that section following statutory amendments made in ch. 9, FSSLA 2005. Chapter 9, FSSLA 2005 eliminated the Teachers' Retirement Board, and largely transferred the board's authority to adopt regulations in 2 AAC 36 to the commissioner of administration.
Even though the adoption of 2 AAC 36.253 was effective 3/18/2004, it was not published until Register 172, January 2005.
