provided by this section. Every judge who elects to bring himself within the purview of this section shall be deemed thereby to consent and agree to the deductions from his salary as provided in this subsection, and payment less such deductions shall be a full and complete discharge and acquittance of all claims and demands whatsoever for all judicial services rendered by such judge during the period covered by such payment, except the right to the benefits to which he or his survivors shall be entitled under the provisions of this section. (c) Each judge who has elected to bring himself within the purview of this section shall deposit, with interest at 4 per centum per annum to December 31, 1947, and 3 per centum per annum thereafter, compounded on December 31 of each year, to the credit of the judicial survivors annuity fund created by this section a sum equal to 3 per centum of his salary received for service as a judge of the United States (including salary received after retirement from regular active service under section 371 (b) or 372 (a) of this title and salary received after retirement from office by resignation on salary under section 371 (a) of this title), and of his basic salary, pay, or compensation for service as a Senator, Representative, Delegate or Resident Commissioner in Congress and for any other civilian service within the purview of section 707 of title 5. Such interest shall not be required for any period during which the judge was separated from all such service and was not receiving salary under section 371 (a) or 373 of this title. Each judge may elect to make such deposits in installments during the continuance of his judicial service in such amounts and under such conditions as may be determined in each instance by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. Notwithstanding the failure of a judge to make such deposit, credit shall be allowed for the service rendered, but the annuity of the widow of such judge shall be reduced by an amount equal to 10 per centum of the amount of such deposit, computed as of the date of the death of such judge, unless such widow shall elect to eliminate such service entirely from credit under subsection (o) of this section: Provided, That no deposit shall be required from a judge for any service rendered prior to August 1, 1920, or for any honorable service in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard of the United States. (d) The Secretary of the Treasury shall invest from time to time, in interest-bearing securities of the United States or Federal farm loan bonds, such portions of the judicial survivors annuity fund as in his judgment may not be immediately required for the payment of annuities, refunds and allowances as provided in this section. The income derived from such investments shall constitute a part of said fund for the purpose of paying annuities and of carrying out the provisions of subsections (f), (g), (1), and (j) of this section. (e) The amount deposited by or deducted and withheld from the salary of each judge electing to bring himself within the purview of this section for credit to the judicial survivors annuity fund created by this section covering service from and after August 1, 1920, shall be credited to an individual account of such judge. (f) If any judge who has elected to bring himself within the purview of this section resigns from office otherwise than on salary under section 371 (a) of this title, the amount credited to his individual account, together with interest at 4 per centum per annum to December 31, 1947, and 3 per centum per annum, thereafter, compounded on December 31st of each year, to the date of his relinquishment of office, shall be returned to him. (g) In case any judge who has elected to bring himself within the purview of this section shall die while in office (whether in regular active service or retired from such service under section 371 (b) or 372 (a) of this title), or after retirement from office by resignation on salary under section 371 (a) of this title, after having rendered at least five years of civilian service computed as prescribed in subsection (0) of this section, for the last five years of which the salary deductions provided for by subsection (b) of this section or the deposits required by subsection (c) of this section have actually been made (1) if such judge is survived by a widow but not by a dependent child, there shall be paid to such widow an annuity beginning with the day of the death of the judge or following the widow's attainment of the age of fifty years, whichever is the later, in an amount computed as provided in subsection (n) of this section; or (2) if such judge is survived by a widow and a dependent child or children, there shall be paid to such widow an immediate annuity in an amount computed as provided in subsection (n) of this section, and there shall also be paid to or on behalf of each such child an immediate annuity equal to one-half the amount of the annuity of such widow, but not to exceed $900 per year divided by the number of such children or $360 per year, whichever is lesser; or (3) if such judge leaves no surviving widow or widower but leaves a surviving dependent child or children, there shall be paid to or on behalf of each such child an immediate annuity equal to the amount of the annuity to which such widow would have been entitled under paragraph (2) of this subsection had she survived, but not to exceed $480 per year. The annuity payable to a widow under this subsection shall be terminable upon her death or remarriage. The annuity payable to a child under this subsection shall be terminable upon (A) his attaining the age of eighteen years, (B) his marriage, or (C) his death, whichever first occurs, except that if such child is incapable of self-support by reason of mental or physical disability his annuity shall be terminable only upon death, marriage, or recovery from such disability. In case of the death of a widow of a judge leaving a dependent child or children of the judge surviving her the annuity of such child or children shall be recomputed and paid as provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection. In any case in which the annuity of a dependent child, under this subsection, is terminated, the annuities of any remaining dependent child or children, based upon the service of the same judge, shall be recomputed and paid as though the child whose annuity was so terminated had not survived such judge. (h) As used in this section (1) The term "widow" means a surviving wife of an individual, who either (A) shall have been married to such individual for at least two years immediately preceding his death or (B) is the mother of issue by such marriage, and who has not remarried. (2) The term "dependent child" means an unmarried child, including a dependent stepchild or an adopted child, who is under the age of eighteen years or who because of physical or mental disability is incapable of self-support. Questions of dependency and disability arising under this section shall be determined by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts subject to review only by the Judicial Conference of the United States the decision of which shall be final and conclusive. The Director may order or direct at any time such medical or other examinations as he shall deem necessary to determine the facts relative to the nature and degree of disability of any dependent child who is an annuitant or applicant for annuity under this section, and may suspend or deny any such annuity for failure to submit to any examination. (i) In any case in which (1) a judge who has elected to bring himself within the purview of this section shall die while in office (whether in regular active service or retired from such service under section 371 (b) or 372 (a) of this title), or after retirement from office by resignation on salary under section 371 (a) of this title, before having rendered five years of civilian service computed as prescribed in subsection (o) of this section, or after having rendered five years of such civilian service but without a survivor or survivors entitled to annuity benefits provided by subsection (g) of this section, or (2) the right of all persons entitled to annuity under subsection (g) of this section based on the service of such judge shall terminate before a valid claim therefor shall have been established, the total amount credited to the individual account of such judge, with interest at 4 per centum per annum to December 31, 1947, and 3 per centum per annum, thereafter, compounded on December 31st of each year, to the date of the death of such judge, shall be paid, upon the establishment of a valid claim therefor, to the person or persons surviving at the date title to the payment arises, in the following order of precedence, and such payment shall be a bar to recovery by any other person: First, to the beneficiary or beneficiaries whom the judge may have designated by a writing received by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts prior to his death; Second, if there be no such beneficiary, to the widow of such judge; Third, if none of the above, to the child or children of such judge and the descendants of any deceased children by representation; Fourth, if none of the above, to the parents of such judge or the survivor of them; Fifth, if none of the above, to the duly appointed executor or administrator of the estate of such judge; Sixth, if none of the above, to such other next of kin of such judge as may be determined by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts to be entitled under the laws of the domicile of such judge at the time of his death. Determination as to the widow or child of a judge for the purposes of this subsection shall be made by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts without regard to the definition of these terms stated in subsection (h) of this section. (j) In any case in which the annuities of all persons entitled to annuity based upon the service of a judge shall terminate before the aggregate amount of annuity paid equals the total amount credited to the individual account of such judge, with interest at 4 per centum per annum to December 31, 1947, and 3 per centum per annum thereafter, compounded on December 31st of each year, to the date of the death of such judge, the difference shall be paid, upon establishment of a valid claim therefor, in the order of precedence prescribed in subsection (i) of this section. (k) Any accrued annuity remaining unpaid upon the termination (other than by death) of the annuity of any person based upon the service of a judge shall be paid to such person. Any accrued annuity remaining unpaid upon the death of any person receiving annuity based upon the service of a judge shall be paid, upon the establishment of a valid claim therefor, in the following order of precedence: First, to the duly appointed executor or administrator of the estate of such person; Second, if there is no such executor or administrator payment may be made, after the expiration of thirty days from the date of the death of such person, to such individual or individuals as may appear in the judgment of the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts to be legally entitled thereto, and such payment shall be a bar to recovery by any other individual. (1) Where any payment under this section is to be made to a minor, or to a person mentally incompetent or under other legal disability adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, such payment may be made to the person who is constituted guardian or other fiduciary by the law of the State of residence of such claimant or is otherwise legally vested with the care of the claimant or his estate. Where no guardian or other fiduciary of the person under legal disability has been appointed under the laws of the State of residence of the claimant, the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts shall determine the person who is otherwise legally vested with the care of the claimant or his estate. (m) Annuities granted under the terms of this section shall accrue monthly and shall be due and payable in monthly installments on the first business day of the month following the month or other period for which the annuity shall have accrued. None of the moneys mentioned in this section shall be assignable, either in law or in equity, or subject to execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process. (n) The annuity of the widow of a judge who has elected to bring himself within the purview of this section shall be an amount equal to the sum of (1) 14 per centum of the average annual salary received by such judge for judicial service and any other prior allowable service during the last five years of such service prior to his death, or retirement from office by resignation on salary under section 371 (a) of this title, multiplied by the sum of his years of judicial service, his years of prior allowable service as a Senator, Representative, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner in Congress, his years of prior allowable service performed as a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, and his years, not exceeding fifteen, of prior allowable service performed as an employee described in section 698 (g) of title 5, and (2) 34 of 1 per centum of such average annual salary multiplied by his years of any other prior allowable service, but such annuity shall not exceed 371⁄2 per centum of such average annual salary and shall be further reduced in accordance with subsection (c) of this section, if applicable. (0) Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this section, the years of service of a judge which are allowable as the basis for calculating the amount of the annuity of his widow shall include his years of service as a judge of the United States (whether in regular active service or retired from such service under section 371 (b) or 372 (a) of this title), his years of service as a Senator, Representative, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner in Congress, his years of active service as a member of the Armed Forces of the United States not exceeding five years in the aggregate and not including any such service for which credit is allowed for the purposes of retirement or retired pay under any other provision of law, and his years of any other civilian service within the purview of section 707 of title 5. (p) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prevent a widow eligible therefor from simultaneously receiving an annuity under this section and any annuity to which she would otherwise be entitled under any other law without regard to this section, but in computing such other annuity service used in the computation of her annuity under this section shall not be credited. (q) The judges of the United States District Court for the District of the Canal Zone, the District Court of Guam and the District Court of the Virgin Islands and judges of the United States, as defined in section 451 of this title, who are entitled to hold office only for a term of years shall be deemed judges of the United States for the purposes of this section and shall be entitled to bring themselves within the purview of this section by filing an election as provided in subsection (a) of this section within the time therein specified. In the case of such judges the phrase "retirement from office by resignation on salary under section 371 (a) of this title" as used in subsections (b), (c), (g), (i) and (n) of this section shall mean "retirement from office by resignation on salary under section 373 of this title or by removal or failure of reappointment after not less than ten years judicial service", and the phrase "resigns from office otherwise than on salary under section 371 (a) of this title" as used in subsection (f) of this section shall mean "resigns from office otherwise than on salary under section 373 of this title or is removed or fails of reappointment after less than ten years judicial service".

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY Reviser's Note.-Based on title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., § 334 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 227, 36 Stat. 1154; Mar. 4, 1911, ch. 285, § 1, 36 Stat. 1419; July 1, 1922, ch. 267, § 3, 42 Stat. 816; June 12, 1926, ch. 568, 44 Stat. 736; Jan. 29, 1929, ch. 113, 45 Stat. 1143; Mar. 2, 1929, ch. 488, § 1, 45 Stat. 1475; July 3, 1930, ch. 863, § 1, 46 Stat. 1016; Feb. 23, 1931, ch. 276, § 30, 46 Stat. 1214; May 17, 1932, ch. 190, 47 Stat. 158; June 30, 1932, ch. 314, § 501, 47 Stat. 415; May 10, 1934, ch. 277, § 512, 48 Stat. 758; Ex. Ord. No. 6166, §§ 12, 14, June 10, 1933; June 7, 1934, ch. 426, 48 Stat. 926; May 27, 1936, ch. 463, § 1, 49 Stat. 1380; June 20, 1936, ch. 630, 5, 49 Stat. 1549; June 25, 1936, ch. 804, 49 Stat. 1921). Requirements for printing, binding, and issuing Supreme Court decisions "within eight months after said decisions have been rendered by the Supreme Court" and provision for distribution "within said period" were omitted. The phrase "as soon as practicable after rendition" was made the time for publishing such decisions as more flexible and practicable. The words "the United States Court for China" were omitted inasmuch as that court is no longer functioning. The Secretary of State by an arrangement with China has relinquished the extraterritorial jurisdiction previously exercised by the United States in China. The 1944 Legislative and Judiciary Appropriation Act approved June 28, 1943, made no appropriation for the United States Court for China. Appropriations for other courts were made in title II of chapter 173 (57 Stat. 241). The last appropriation for the United States Court for China was in the act of July 2, 1942 (ch. 472, title IV, 56 Stat. 502). The words "to the Secretary of War for the use of the proper courts and officers of the Philippine Islands, seven copies" were omitted in view of the independence of the Philippines, effective July 4, 1946. The phrase "justice or judge of the United States" obviated repetition of names of courts. (See definitive section 451 of this title.) Last sentence, fourth paragraph, of section 334 of title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., requiring that books should remain the property of the United States and should be preserved and turned over to successors in office, was omitted as covered by section 414 of this title. A reference to the United States attorney for the District of Columbia was omitted as covered by "each United States attorney." Provision authorizing distribution of volumes under this section to each place where a court of appeals is held was added for purposes of uniformity. See similar provision in section 413 of this title. The revised section substitutes the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts in lieu of the Attorney General insofar as distribution of volumes to the judiciary is concerned. This change is consistent with the duties of the former under section 601 et seq. of this title. Provision of section 334 of title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., as to the custody, use and delivery to successors was omitted as obsolete on advice of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. The limitation of 10 copies to the library of the Supreme Court and 6 copies to the marshal of the Supreme Court for use of the justices, was omitted and the provision for distribution in such number "specified by the Chief Justice of the United States" was substituted therefor. Authority for making an appropriation to carry into effect the provisions of this section is contained in section 336 of title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., Acts July 1, 1922, ch. 267, § 5, 42 Stat. 818; May 29, 1926, ch. 425, § 3, 44 Stat. 678 which is omitted, but not repealed, as unnecessary in this revision. Changes were made in phraseology and arrangement. AMENDMENTS 1952-Act July 10, 1952, provided for flexibility in the printing and distribution of these reports under congressional control. 1951-Subsec. (c). Act Oct. 31, 1951, in second par.. substituted "Secretary of the Army" for "Secretary of War." 1949 Subsec. (a). Act May 24, 1949, § 68(a), inserted "Secretary of Defense", "Secretary of the Air Force", and "Judge Advocate General of the Air Force" where appearing, and substituted "Secretary of the Army" for "Secretary of War", "Department of the Army" for "War Department", "Director of the Bureau of Land Management" for "Commissioner of the General Land Office", "Commissioner of Customs, Commandant of the Coast Guard" for "Chief of the Bureau of Marine Inspection", and "Chief of Forest Service, Department of Agriculture" for "Chief Forester, National Park Service, Department of the Interior". Subsec. (b). Act May 24, 1949, § 68(b), substituted "Secretary of the Army" for "Secretary of War" and "Court-martial" for "courtmartial."

Section consolidates provisions of section 1131 of title 26, U. S. C., 1940 ed., relating to expenditures for "law books" for The Tax Court of the United States, with sections 337 and 530 of title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., relating to purchase and distribution of reporter and digest volumes. Other provisions of section 1131 of title 26, U. S. C., 1940 ed., are incorporated in section 604 of this title. Provisions of section 530 of title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., limiting the price to be paid for volumes of the Federal Reporter and other similar reports were omitted after consultation with the Administrative Office of United States Courts as more properly covered by current appropriation acts. Similar provisions relating to the Federal Digest and the United States Code Annotated were omitted as covered in current appropriation acts. (See Act June 29, 1944, ch. 286, title II, § 212, 58 Stat. 361, 387.) Provisions of said section 337 of title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., that books are to remain United States property, so marked, and transmitted to successors in office of persons receiving them, were omitted as covered by section 414 of this title. Similar provisions in said section 530 of title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., are incorporated in section 414 of this title. Provision in section 337 of title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., for distribution to the Court of Appeals and District Court for the District of Columbia was omitted as covered by the phrase "Each place where a circuit court of appeals or district court is regularly held." The revised section is extended to include the Customs Court as well as the Court of Claims and Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. All judges receive the Supreme Court reports and digests under section 411 of this title. Presumably the Congress did not intend to deny distribution of the Federal Reporter and digests to the Customs Court while providing for all other courts under said section 337. The revised section provides for distribution of volumes to the judiciary by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. (See reviser's note under section 411 of this title.) Similar publications are purchased by the Marshal of Supreme Court for the use of the Court. (See section 672 (5) of this title.) The provisions of section 337 of title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., requiring annual estimates and disbursement of moneys for the volumes under this section were omitted. Such provisions are covered by appropriate sections of title 31, U. S. C., 1940 ed., Money and Finance. Provision of section 337 of title 28, U. S. C., 1940 ed., as to custody, use, and delivery to successors was omitted as obsolete on advice of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. Numerous changes were made in phraseology and superfluous language was omitted. SENATE REVISION AMENDMENT As finally enacted, part of act July 9, 1947, ch. 211, title IV, 61 Stat. 306, which was classified to Title 28, U. S. C., 1946 ed., § 530, became one of the sources of this section and was accordingly included in the schedule of repeals by Senate amendment. See 80th Congress Senate Report No. 1559. Although section 1131 of Title 26, U. S. C. (Internal Revenue Code) is one of the sources of this section, it was struck out of the schedule of repeals by Senate amendment and accordingly remains in Title 26. See 80th Congress Senate Report No. 1559.
