The retirement allowance of any person who retired under Section 8.507 or 8.509 of the Charter and who, at retirement, selected optional payment plan No. 2 or No. 3 as provided in Section 16.75 of this Code, shall be recomputed in accordance with the provisions of this Section, if the person designated to receive the lesser allowance after the death of said retired person subsequently qualifies as a wife who would be eligible as a widow to receive the allowance provided in Paragraph (d) of Section 16.80 of this Code.
Such allowance shall be recomputed so that the optional payment plan selected shall apply only with respect to that part of such retired person's retirement allowance which is in excess of the allowance which would be paid to his widow under the provisions of Paragraph (d) of Section 16.80 of this Code. Said recomputation shall be made as of the date on which said designated person qualifies as an eligible wife or on the effective date of this ordinance, whichever is later; and the allowance as so recomputed shall be payable for time on and after the date of said recomputation.
This ordinance does not and shall not give any retired person, or his successors in interest, any claim against the City and County for an increase in any allowance paid or payable for time prior to the date of said recomputation.

Upon the death on or after the effective date of this Section of a female member who at the time of her death is receiving a retirement allowance as a person retired under Sections 8.507 or 8.509 of the Charter (formerly Sections 165 and 165-2 of the Charter of 1932), an allowance shall be paid to her surviving husband, until his death or remarriage, equal to ½ of her retirement allowance as it was prior to optional modification, but exclusive of the part of such allowance which was provided by additional contributions.

If a female member whose retirement will be effective on or after the effective date of this Section does not have, at retirement, a husband who upon such member's death would qualify as a surviving husband to receive the allowance provided in this Section, she may elect an option, as provided under Section 16.75 of this Code, with respect to all of her allowance; but if, at her retirement, she has such a husband, she may elect such option only with respect to that part of her retirement allowance which is in excess of the allowance which would be paid to her surviving husband under this Section.
The funds for payments under this Section shall be derived:
(a) With respect to persons retired as members under Section 8.507, from the accumulated contributions of the City and County held to meet the obligation of the City and County on account of benefits that have been granted and on account of prior service of members, and
(b) With respect to persons retired as members under Section 8.509, from reserves held by the Retirement System on account of members under said section.

(1) An amount equal to ½ of the amount of his wife's retirement allowance without optional modification;
