(a) If a judge to whom or to whose survivors benefits would be payable under Minnesota Statutes 2004, sections 490.101 to 490.12, is elected or appointed to the court of appeals, that judge and the judge's survivors continue to be eligible for benefits under those sections and not under sections 490.121 to 490.126.
