a. Any person entitled to become a member of the Public Employees’ Retirement System shall not be allowed any of the death benefits established by sections 38, 41, 45, 46, 48 and 49e, of chapter 84 of the laws of 1954, and by this act, if on the date he files an application for membership he is 60 or more years of age or if he makes application for membership beyond the year after he first became eligible for membership, regardless of age, unless the member furnishes satisfactory evidence of insurability and on the effective date of his membership is actively at work and performing all his regular duties at his customary place of employment.

The effective date of coverage for such death benefits shall be the first day of the month which immediately follows the date when such evidence is determined to be satisfactory.

b. Such evidence of insurability will not be required of any person becoming a member of the Public Employees’ Retirement System upon transfer from another State administered retirement system, if such system provided death benefits of a similar nature and the transferring member was covered by such benefits at the time of transfer. If such transferring member was not covered by such benefits at the time of the transfer, he may be allowed the death benefits of the Public Employees’ Retirement System subject to the provisions of subsection a. of this section; provided, however, that any such member must furnish satisfactory evidence of insurability under the provisions of subsection a. of this section if he had been unable or failed to give such evidence as a member of the system from which he transferred.

c. Any person who must furnish satisfactory evidence of insurability under the provisions of this section and who ceases to be a member of the retirement system without such evidence having been given, shall continue to be subject to the same requirement if he subsequently becomes a member.
