     applied for or been granted that pay; or
       ``(iii) completing 20 years of active service but before he 
     is eligible to retire as a commissioned officer because he 
     has not completed 10 years of active commissioned service; or
       ``(B) a member not described in subparagraph (A) who dies 
     on active duty, except in the case of a member whose death,

     misconduct or willful neglect; or
       ``(ii) occurs during a period of unauthorized absence.''.
       (2) The heading for subsection (d) of such section is 
     amended by striking ``retirement-eligible''.
       (b) Amount of Annuity.--Section 1451(c)(1) of such title is 
     amended to read as follows:
       ``(1) In general.--In the case of an annuity provided under 
     section 1448(d) or 1448(f) of this title, the amount of the 
     annuity shall be determined as follows:
       ``(A) Beneficiary under 62 years of age.--If the person 
     receiving the annuity is under 62 years of age or is a 
     dependent child when the member or former member dies, the 
     monthly annuity shall be the amount equal to 55 percent of 
     the retired pay imputed to the member or former member. The 
     retired pay imputed to a member or former member is as 
     follows:
       ``(i) Except in a case described in clause (ii), the 
     retired pay to which the member or former member would have 
     been entitled if the member or former member had been 
     entitled to that pay based upon his years of active service 
     when he died.
       ``(ii) In the case of a deceased member referred to in 
     subparagraph (A)(iii) or (B) of section 1448(d)(1) of this 
     title, the retired pay to which the member or former member 
     would have been entitled if the member had been entitled to 
     that pay based upon a retirement under section 1201 of this 
     title (if on active duty for more than 30 days when the 
     member died) or section 1204 of this title (if on active duty 
     for 30 days or less when the member died) for a disability 
     rated as total.
       ``(B) Beneficiary 62 years of age or older.--
       ``(i) General rule.--If the person receiving the annuity 
     (other than a dependent child) is 62 years of age or older 
     when the member or former member dies, the monthly annuity 
     shall be the amount equal to 35 percent of the retired pay

     (i) or (ii) of the second sentence of subparagraph (A).

     the annuity computed under subsection (e) and if, at the time 
     the beneficiary becomes entitled to the annuity, computation 
     of the annuity under that subsection is more favorable to the 
     beneficiary than computation under clause (i), the annuity
