ANNOTATION

Annotator's note. Since 24-51-901 is similar to 24-51-801 as it existed prior to the 1987 repeal and reenactment of this article, a relevant case construing that provision has been included in the annotations to this section.

Where requisite service not rendered, and no active membership, no survivor's benefits. Where a disability retiree has not rendered the requisite accredited service immediately prior to his death and has not been an active member of the public employees' retirement association at the time of his death, his widow does not qualify for survivor's benefits. Martin v. Pub. Employees' Retirement Bd., 150 Colo. 127, 371 P.2d 266 (1962).
