If you are a vested member with at least ten years of credited service, have not retired and you die more than one year after leaving public employment, 50 percent of the ordinary death benefit may still be payable. This vested benefit may also be payable if you die within one year of leaving covered service but were gainfully employed during that time.

Filing

Your family or employer should notify us of your death as soon as possible so we can send the appropriate forms to your beneficiary.
