Description
John Daniel Dawson, a minor, claiming that his father's death entitles him to an annuity from the survivors' benefit reserve fund of the Public Employees' Retirement Association (PERA), appeals a judgment of the district court affirming a decision of the PERA Retirement Board (Board) denying his claim. The district court concluded that section 24-51-806, C.R.S. 1973 (1982 Repl. Vol. 10), precludes payment of an annuity to a dependent child, born during the decedent's marriage to his former wife and not a member of the decedent's immediate household, when the decedent was survived by dependent children living with a surviving spouse. The district court also held that this statutory distinction with respect to dependent children bears a sufficiently rational relationship to a legitimate governmental interest to survive an equal protection challenge under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article II, Section 25 of the Colorado Constitution. We affirm the judgment.
