Summary:

The Judicial Survivors' Annuities System (JSAS) is one of several survivor benefit plans applicable to specific groups of federal workers. JSAS provides annuities to the surviving spouse and dependent children of deceased federal judges and other judicial officials. GAO is required to review JSAS' costs every three years and determine whether the participants' contributions covered one-half of the costs. If the contributions are less than one-half of these costs, GAO is to determine what adjustments would be needed to achieve the 50-percent figure. GAO issued its first report on this subject in 1997. (See GAO/GGD-97-87.)
