A. Should the decedent leave a surviving spouse, he or she shall, as long as he or she remains unmarried, be paid an allowance equal to one-half of the monthly salary paid the decedent at the time of death.
B. Should the decedent leave no surviving spouse, but leave any child or children under the age of eighteen (18) years or should the decedent leave a surviving spouse who shall die and leave children under the age of eighteen (18) years, such child or children collectively shall receive an allowance equal to one-half the monthly salary paid to the deceased member at the time of his or her death until the youngest child attains the age of eighteen (18) years; provided, that no child shall receive any such allowance after attaining the age of eighteen (18) years.
