How much lump sum death benefit will be paid if I die when I am receiving my pension? If you do not have a Designation of Beneficiary on file, we will pay the first person(s) listed below who is alive on the date the payment becomes due: If you are satisfied with the payment order shown above, there is no need for you to have a Designation of Beneficiary. A surviving child who meets the Basic Eligibility Requirements as defined in the pamphlet Survivor Benefits for Children and is between the ages of 18 and 22, and is a full-time student at a recognized educational institution may be eligible for a monthly survivor annuity benefit. We consider the child dependent if there is proof that the deceased made regular and substantial contributions to the child’s support. If a former employee dies and no survivor annuity is payable, the retirement contributions remaining to the deceased person’s credit in the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund, plus applicable interest, are payable. Benefits to any child end upon the child’s marriage. The preferred way is to file a new Designation of Beneficiary when a beneficiary’s address changes. OPM may also request at any time that you provide proof of the school enrollment. But it’s worth remembering the benefits of a Civil Service Pension and the options that you have when it comes to planning your financial future. The 9-month requirement does not apply if your death is accidental or if there is a child born of the marriage. If the death occurred before nine months of marriage. To apply for death benefits, the survivor/representative will complete the appropriate Application for Death Benefits SF 2800 for Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or SF 3104 for FERS retirees and the SF 3104B for when a FERS employee died while employed at the time of death. High schools generally require 25 to 35 actual clock hours of class attendance each week to consider a student as full-time. 0000001478 00000 n

Eligible children are entitled to a survivor benefit by law. In many cases, the FERS children’s benefit is reduced to $0. 0000012424 00000 n
The combined benefit of all the children is reduced by the total amount of child’s insurance benefits that are payable (or would, upon proper application, be payable) under Title II of the Social Security Act for the same month to all children of the deceased (including those of a former marriage who may not be living with the current spouse) based on the total earnings of the deceased. You can add or amend your death benefit nomination in the Pension Portal or by completing a death benefit nomination form. Contact the personnel office of the Federal agency where the employee worked. \g��\Lh7If�����77 S��h���WCg�znt'UP5�K��v�X���Z�:d(r���h[���Qh��>�+�Q��I��*��NO&��0S���L_�7�U>��ԕ$Е�0�-yٛ:rE��{�P��'�ɿ+�+Om�e��m�@�S�;7��8�f?
