## Sec. 605 supplemental annuities; recomputation of annuities Section 221 of the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement Act of 1964 for Certain Employees, as amended by sections 603 and 604 of this title, is further amended by adding at the end thereof the following: > > ### “(m) > > > ####
(1)> > Any married annuitant who reverts to retired status with entitlement to a supplemental annuity under subsection 271(b) shall, unless the annuitant and his or her spouse jointly elect in writing to the contrary at that time, have the supplemental annuity reduced by 10 percent to provide a supplemental survivor annuity for his or her spouse. Such supplemental survivor annuity shall be equal to 55 percent of the supplemental annuity of the annuitant and shall be payable to a surviving spouse to whom the annuitant was married at the time of reversion to retired status or whom the annuitant subsequently married. > > > #### “(2) > > The Director shall issue regulations to provide for the application of paragraph
(1)of this subsection and of subsection 271(b) in any case in which an annuitant has a former spouse who was married to the participant at any time during a period of recall service and who qualifies for an annuity under section 222(b). > > > ### “(n) > > An annuity which is reduced under this section or any similar prior provision of law to provide a survivor benefit for a spouse shall, if the marriage of the participant to such spouse is dissolved, be recomputed and paid for each full month during which an annuitant is not married (or is remarried if there is no election in effect under the following sentence) as if the annuity had not been so reduced, subject to any reduction required to provide a survivor benefit under section 222
(b)or (c). Upon remarriage the retired participant may irrevocably elect, by means of a signed writing received by the Director within one year after such remarriage, to receive during such marriage a reduction in annuity for the purpose of allowing an annuity for the new spouse of the annuitant in the event such spouse survives the annuitant. Such reduction shall be equal to the reduction in effect immediately before the dissolution of the previous marriage (unless such reduction is adjusted under section 222(b)(5)), and shall be effective the first day of the first month beginning one year after the date of remarriage. A survivor annuity elected under this subsection shall be treated in all respects as a survivor annuity under subsection (b). > > > ### “(o) > > The Director shall, on an annual basis— > > > #### “(1) > > inform each participant of his or her right of election under subsections (f)(2) and (n); and > > > #### “(2) > > to the maximum extent practicable, inform spouses or former spouses of participants or former participants of their rights under this section and sections 222, 223, and 234 (c), (d), and (e).” > .
