Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 11, § 952.37. Surviving spouse allowance

A. (1) Upon receipt by the board of supervisors of proper proof of the death of a member in service who has completed ten years of credited service, or a member not in service who, on the date his employment ceased, has completed twenty years of credited service and elected to receive a vested deferred retirement allowance pursuant to R.S. 11:952.41 and who is not yet in receipt of such allowance, a survivor's allowance shall be payable to his spouse, if any, as herein specified:

(2) If the surviving spouse was married to the deceased member for at least two years prior to the death of the member, the surviving spouse may elect to receive a spouse allowance benefit as provided under Option 2 in R.S. 11:952.38 with such allowance to terminate upon spouse's death or remarriage except that remarriage will not terminate a spouse allowance benefit if the member had twenty-five years or more of credited service or was eligible but was not yet in receipt of a service retirement or early service retirement allowance at the time of the member's death.
