Denied
The termination of survivor's pension benefits beginning June 1, 2011, was proper based on the receipt of previously unreported Social Security Administration (SSA) income which exceeded the applicable maximum annual pension rate.
The deciding factor: The appellant's countable income from SSA disability benefits exceeded the MAPR for 2011, making her ineligible for survivor's pension benefits.
