Summary
Provides annuity benefits for survivors of Federal judicial officers. Sets forth the definitions of "judicial officials" and "retirement salary" as used in this Act. Provides that judicial officials are entitled to the same survivor annuity benefits as survivors of Members of Congress, with specified limitations. States that nothing in this Act shall be construed to prevent an eligible widow from simultaneously receiving an annuity under this Act and any annuity to which she would otherwise be entitled. Transfers, from the Secretary of the Treasury, all assets credited to the judicial survivors annuity fund to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund. Abolishes the judicial survivor annuity fund. (Adds 5 U.S.C. 8341A)
