Survivor pay for some city officials’ spouses
Arkansas city governing bodies can choose to provide retirement benefits to surviving spouses of certain city officials. Covered officials are city attorneys in first- or second-class cities, deputy city clerks and treasurers in first-class cities, and mayors in second-class cities. The legally recognized spouse must have been married to the official for at least 10 years. The official must have retired under an applicable law or died in office after becoming eligible to retire. The spouse gets half the retirement benefit the official was receiving or was entitled to receive; payments stop upon remarriage.
