However, the proportion to be received by any minor child of the staff member may not be lower than the proportion that child would originally have been entitled to receive.If a staff member dies and has no survivor who is eligible to claim bereavement compensation under paragraph 1 of the preceding article, his or her heir may apply to the Pension Fund management institutionfor return of the principal, with interest, of the Pension Fund premium already paid. If the staff member has no heir, the original employing school may first proceed to receive the bereavement compensation and use it to handle the funeral affairs; if there is any remainder, it shall be returned to the Pension Fund.
