If a person who is a member of the System and has less than 2 years of accredited contributing service or has more than 2 years of accredited service and payments are not due under NRS 286.673 to 286.677, inclusive, dies before retiring, the amount credited at the time of the member’s death to the member’s account in the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund shall be paid directly and without probate or administration to the beneficiaries which the member designates.
